[libvirt] [PATCH v2 0/2] Enhance checking of supported flags in drivers

I think we need a simple and consistent way of checking whether flags passed to API entry points in drivers are valid/supported or not. So far some entry points don't check flags at all and some checks for 0 when no flags are expected/supported. The first patch introduces a macro which can be called with a whitelist of supported flags (more info about it inside the patch). The second patch changes all API calls introduced in 0.8.0 release to use the macro for checking valid flags. I'm not sure if we can change existing API calls to do the same as it could break some badly written apps which pass invalid flags. My opinion is that we may often do that as such apps don't use the API in a documented/valid way. Changes in v2: - virCheckFlags moved from checks.h to existing internal.h Jirka Jiri Denemark (2): Introduce virCheckFlags for consistent flags checking Use virCheckFlags for APIs added in 0.8.0 src/esx/esx_driver.c | 43 ++++++++++++------------- src/internal.h | 23 +++++++++++++ src/nwfilter/nwfilter_driver.c | 4 ++- src/qemu/qemu_driver.c | 68 +++++++++++++++++++--------------------- src/storage/storage_driver.c | 6 +--- src/vbox/vbox_tmpl.c | 41 ++++++++++++++++------- src/xen/xend_internal.c | 4 ++ 7 files changed, 111 insertions(+), 78 deletions(-)
