I'd suggest writing a test that parses libvirt-api.xml and validates that
your binary (or source code) contains a reference to each API, so that you
know you have full coverage, and also so that CI builds when when new APIs
are added to libvirt alerting you to close the gap. Just blacklist the
APIs you don't want to expose. There's examples of such a test in the
python, perl and go binding repos.
Yes, definitely good suggestion. Actually I have it in my mind to do
it, but I was waiting until we implement all APIs. But since you've
mentioned it I've realized that it could be useful to do it now to in
order to track what APIs are left to implement so we don't miss any.
I'll look into it later, I guess there is no rush to do it before the
release.
Thanks,
Pavel
