Re: [Libvir] Adding test suite for sexpr<->xml conversions

So I've attached another patch which adds a new flag to configure - --enable-test-coverage, which causes everything to be compiled & linked with -fprofile-arcs -ftest-coverage There is then a 'make cov' target in the top level directory which genrates an HTML report showing code coverage: http://people.redhat.com/berrange/libvirt-coverage/ Obviously it is mostly red - my goal is not to get 100% coverage - clearly thats impossible in unit tests, since most of the XenD interaction can only be tested through integration tests. It is however useful to be able to view how much of the XML<->SEXPR routines are covered, since they're easily unit testable. Also coverage on 'virsh' is useful since we can run it with the test backend instead of xen. The reports are generated using Perl & xsltproc - yes, this adds Perl as a dependancy, but I don't think its a worry, because this is totally a no-op unless you explicitly pass --enable-test-coverage to configure, so won't impact normal 'configure; make ; make install' cycle done by most developers.
