[libvirt] [RFC] net-dhcp-leases: virNetworkDHCPLeases struct design

Continued from https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-October/msg00325.html Earlier, the virNetworkDHCPLeases struct design was: struct _virNetworkDHCPLeases { long long expirytime; /* Seconds since epoch */ union { char *mac; /* MAC address */ unsigned long iaid; /* Identity association identifier (IAID) */ } id; char *ipaddr; /* IP address */ char *hostname; /* Hostname */ char *clientid; /* Client ID or DUID */ int type; /* virIPAddrType */ unsigned int prefix; /* IP address prefix */ }; Since no one likes the idea of having a union, but we do want to support dhcpv6, following is the new design: struct _virNetworkDHCPLeases { char *interface; /* Network interface name (non-null) */ long long expirytime; /* Seconds since epoch (non-null) */ int type; /* virIPAddrType (non-null) */ unsigned int prefix; /* IP address prefix (non-null) */ char *mac; /* MAC address (mostly non-null, except rare cases) */ char *iaid; /* IAID (ipv6) (null, in case of ipv4) */ char *ipaddr; /* IP address (non-null) */ char *hostname; /* Hostname (can be null) */ char *clientid; /* Client ID(ipv4) or DUID(ipv6) (can be null, in case of ipv4) */ }; -- Nehal J Wani
