Great, +1
How do you assert coverage ? gcov ? I think I used one of the KDE valgrind
skins in the past to check those graphically but it was a long time ago
and not for libvirt.
I run the test script once, count all the allocations, and then it again
once for each allocation and fail a different one each time & verify that
the test then failed, but didn't SEGV/abort. For extra run I then run this
under valgrind to verify the error handling paths don't also leak memory.
I'll post it shortly...
Dan.
