Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 3/5] util: Export remoteDeserializeTypedParameters internally via util

Currently, the deserializer is hardcoded into remote_driver which makes it impossible for admin to use it. One way to achieve a shared implementation (besides moving the code to another module) would be pass @ret_params_val as a void pointer as opposed to the remote_typed_param pointer and add a new extra argument specifying which of those two protocols is being used and typecast the pointer at the function entry. An example from remote_protocol: struct remote_typed_param_value { int type; union { int i; u_int ui; int64_t l; uint64_t ul; double d; int b; remote_nonnull_string s; } remote_typed_param_value_u; }; typedef struct remote_typed_param_value remote_typed_param_value; struct remote_typed_param { remote_nonnull_string field; remote_typed_param_value value; }; That would leave us with a bunch of if-then-elses that needed to be used across the method. This patch takes the other approach using the new datatype introduced in one of earlier commits. --- daemon/remote.c | 125 +++++++++----------------------------------- src/libvirt_private.syms | 1 + src/remote/remote_driver.c | 107 ++------------------------------------ src/rpc/gendispatch.pl | 9 ++-- src/util/virtypedparam.c | 127 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/util/virtypedparam.h | 7 +++ 6 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 207 deletions(-)
