[libvirt] [PATCH 04/23] util: add VIR_AUTOSTRUCT for directly calling a struct free function
The current VIR_AUTOPTR macro assumes that the struct needs to have a
auto-free function auto-generated to call the real free function.
The new VIR_AUTOSTRUCT macro allows for structs which already have a
free function which takes a pointer to a pointer to the struct and can
thus be used directly for auto-cleanup.
