Re: [Libvir] [PATCH] libvirt.c: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules

Looking at the code, IMHO, the whole approach of iterating over the

table soo many times is just wrong, when we can simply have an integer
count recording how many drivers are registered. This eliminates both
for(;;) loops, and reduces the amount of code to the point where I don't
think there's anything to be gained by having a generic _virDriverRegister
with all the type-casting this entails.
A kind of "Shlemiel the painter"[1] problem?
So how about the attached patch instead....
I think that looks better.
