[libvirt] [PATCH 01/13] Add a simple macro for doing one-time global init using virOnce
From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange(a)redhat.com>
Using virOnce for global initialization is desirable since it
ensures that initialization will always take place when it is
needed, and guarantees it only occurs once. The problem is that
the code to setup a global initializer with proper error
propagation is tedious. This introduces VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT
macro to simplify this.

+ * VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT:
+ * classname: base classname
+ *
+ * This macro simplifies the setup of a one-time only
+ * global file initializer.
+ *
+ * Assuming a class called "virMyObject", and a method
+ * implemented like:
+ *
+ * int virMyObjectOnceInit(void) {
+ * ...do init tasks...
+ * }
+ *
+ * Then invoking the macro:
+ *
+ * VIR_ONCE_GLOBAL_INIT(virMyObject)
+ *
+ * Will create a method
+ *
+ * int virMyObjectInitialize(void);
+ *
+ * Which will ensure that 'virMyObjectOnceInit' is
+ * guaranteed to be invoked exactly once.
