This isn't allowed. It is introducing a dependancy cycle between the util & conf directories. Code in util/ is not allowed to depend on any other code in the libvirt tree.
IOW, you mean using virDomainNetDefPtr in openMacvtapTap is a libvirt layering violation, and you'd prefer openMacvtapTap() w/ large number of parameters? I think it's impractical to not invent some structure to pass the data...otherwise, I believe the worst case would be: int openMacvtapTap(const char *tgifname, const unsigned char *macaddress, const char *linkdev, int mode, char **res_ifname, int vnet_hdr, int vf, int port_type, unsigned char mgrid, unsigned typeid, const unsigned char *instanceid, const unsigned char *profileid, const unsigned char *vmuuid) But, any such structure will create some dependency. What do you think? thanks, -chris
