Re: [libvirt-users] Trouble using virStream with callbacks

As a test why not try hacking virsh console so that it connects to your virtio serial port, instead of a console. If we assume 'virsh console' is bug-free, that would let you identify whether the flaw is in your host code, or the guest side.

Thanks for the pointer. Doing a few trivial changes to virsh-console does show that it works correctly and pointed out multiple errors in the original code (not least of which using VIR_EVENT_* constants instead of VIR_STREAM_EVENT_*). I have one more question, are there any risks associated with abandoning threads and just doing the virEventRunDefaultImpl() in a loop after setting up all the callbacks? I'm trying to keep this as simple as possible. Cheers, Jonathan
