[PATCH v1 0/4] Add 'version' to other exported types

Hi, This series is an extension of what Daniel did in e0e0bf6628 "scripts: include function versions in API definition". The main motivation behind this is to help code generators to consider if a given symbol is present in a given version of libvirt that they are either running/building against, more specifically: https://gitlab.com/libvirt/libvirt-go-module/-/merge_requests/7 As headers are already a great source of documentation for developers, I'm suggesting to add a specific comment to each of this exported types: /* ... Since <version> */ For the use case I mentioned above, I'm adding small parsing function in apibuild.py to fetch the above metadata and included it on the generated XML API. To avoid adding too much noise in the githistory, I'm proposing the addition of symbols.versions.allowlist file, that apibuild.py can use to fetch the first git tag that a given symbol appeared in. I did a small script to generate it, but it sums up to calling the bellow command for any tag that starts with 'v' and has not '-rc'. git grep $symbol $tag ./include I'm trying the simples approach I could find but I'm happy to improve this further based on your suggestions. Ah, the diff in the generated XMLs, per patch (sadly, pasteben drops it after a single day).
