Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] conf: replace call to virNetworkFree() with virOjectUnref()

The function virNetworkObjListExport() in network_conf.c had a call to the public API virNetworkFree() which was causing a link error: CCLD libvirt_driver_vbox_network_impl.la ./.libs/libvirt_conf.a(libvirt_conf_la-network_conf.o): In function `virNetworkObjListExport': /home/laine/devel/libvirt/src/conf/network_conf.c:4496: undefined reference to `virNetworkFree' This would happen when I added #include "network_conf.h" into domain_conf.c, then attempted to call a new function from that file (and enum converter, similar to virNetworkForwardTypeToString()) In the end, virNetworkFree() ends up just calling virObjectUnref(obj) anyway (after clearing all pending errors, which we probably *don't* want to do in the cleanup of a utility function), so this is likely more correct than the original code as well. --- A quick look showed that there may be other places where we are calling public APIs such as virNetworkFree and virDomainFree when we really don't want to be clearning out the pending error - this would result in the good old "an error was encountered but the cause is unknown" type of log messages.
