Among some here, there is a strong aversion to the use of "assert", yet some others think it is essential (when applied judiciously) even -- perhaps "especially" -- at the heart of libraries and core hypervisor- related code. Here is a compromise that lets us make assertions about the code (e.g., to tell static analyzers about invariants) without even a hint of risk of an abort. * src/internal.h [STATIC_ANALYSIS]: Include <assert.h>. (sa_assert): Define. A no-op most of the time, but equivalent to classical assert when STATIC_ANALYSIS is nonzero.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
