virDomainChrGetDomainPtrs() required 4 levels of pointers (taking a parameter that will be used as an output variable to return the address of another variable that contains an array of pointers). This is rather complex to reason about, especially when outside of the domain_conf file, no other caller should be modifying the resulting array of pointers directly. Changing the public signature gives something is easier to reason with, and actually make const-correct; which is important as it was the only function that was blocking virDomainDeviceDefCopy from treating its source as const. * src/conf/domain_conf.h (virDomainChrGetDomainPtrs): Use simpler types, and make const-correct for external users. * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainChrGetDomainPtrs): Split... (virDomainChrGetDomainPtrsInternal): ...into an internal version that lets us modify terms, vs. external form that is read-only. (virDomainDeviceDefPostParseInternal, virDomainChrFind) (virDomainChrInsert): Adjust callers. * src/qemu/qemu_command.c (qemuGetNextChrDevIndex): Adjust caller. (qemuDomainDeviceAliasIndex): Make const-correct. Signed-off-by: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com>
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.
