I don't think we want to merge this before a QEMU version that
supports this attribute has been released. Still, it's good to get
ready ahead of time :)
That would delay the support for other projects too
(virt-manager/boxes etc). I don't know what rules applies, but
similarly we added virtio-gpu support in Nov, a month before the qemu
2.5 release.
This gl=yes argument has been in the work for over a year (in
development branches), and it is simple I don't think it will change.

I think this should be a sub-element rather than an attribute, something
like
Any guideline on choosing attribute or sub elements here?
<graphics type='spice'>
<gl enable='yes'/>
</graphics>
just like eg. the <filetransfer> sub-element.
ok
Also this looks like it's QEMU only, at least for the time
being,
which is something worth mentioning in the documentation.

There's an example XML snippet here, you should probably update it.

You can just use
if ((gl = virXMLPropString(node, "gl"))) {
here, no need to compare explicitly agains NULL.
ok (mixing different projects rules...)

virTristateSwitchTypeToString(graphics->data.spice.gl));
graphics->data.spice.gl is a virTristateBool, yet you're using
virTristateSwitchTypeToString() on it.
I know you have "yes" / "no" in the XML but need "on" /
"off" for the
QEMU attribute, and I know that virTristateBool and virTristateSwitch
are basically the same thing, but this still looks weird.
I'd rather use something like
switch (graphics->data.spice.gl) {
case VIR_TRISTATE_BOOL_TRUE:
virBufferAsprintf(&opt, ",gl=on");
break;
case VIR_TRISTATE_BOOL_FALSE:
virBufferAsprintf(&opt, ",gl=off");
break;
default:
break;
}
but other people probably feel differently :)
I understand your concern, but having that switch seems worse to me.
Maybe we should make it statically explicit that VIR_TRISTATE_BOOL_YES
== VIR_TRISTATE_SWITCH_ON..

Drop QEMU_CAPS_DEVICE here, we no longer support QEMU versions
that lack -device so that capability is always enabled[1].
ok
Cheers.
[1] Just realized I accidentaly introduced it again in this test
program with one of my recent commits, better clean up :)
