As mentioned in the patches commit message...
Converting ENUMS to str can be user friendly though
it can be problematic between libvirt versions.
In particular when some translated type will introduce a
new constant to the ENUM libvirt-dbus will fail with:
size of array ‘_GStaticAssertCompileTimeAssertion_5’ is negative
Since it's not main use case of livirt-dbus API to be invoked
interactively by user, having all ENUM types passed as
unsigned int is preferable to avoid the previous issue.
Katerina Koukiou (6):
Abandon usage of all *TypeToString functions in domain.c
Abandon usage of all *TypeToString functions in connect.c
Abandon usage of all *TypeToString functions in network.c
Change DomainEvent argument from string to unsigned int
Change NetworkEvent argument from string to unsigned int
Remove virtDBusUtilEnum{From,From}String functions
