Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] esx: Generate most SOAP mapping and improve inheritance handling

The Python script generates the mappings based on the type descriptions in the esx_vi_generator.input file. This also improves the inheritance handling and allows to get rid of the ugly, inflexible, and error prone _base/_super approach. Now every struct that represents a SOAP type contains a _type member, that allows to recreate C++-like dynamic dispatch for "method" calls in C. --- src/Makefile.am | 23 +- src/esx/.gitignore | 1 + src/esx/esx_driver.c | 10 +- src/esx/esx_vi.c | 51 +- src/esx/esx_vi.h | 7 +- src/esx/esx_vi_generator.input | 426 ++++++++ src/esx/esx_vi_generator.py | 1025 ++++++++++++++++++ src/esx/esx_vi_methods.c | 44 +- src/esx/esx_vi_types.c | 2258 +++++----------------------------------- src/esx/esx_vi_types.h | 1090 +------------------- 10 files changed, 1868 insertions(+), 3067 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/esx/.gitignore create mode 100644 src/esx/esx_vi_generator.input create mode 100755 src/esx/esx_vi_generator.py
