[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/3]: daemon: Reimplement ‘file’ API in OCaml.
This patch series is just FYI at the moment. However it does pass the tests. The daemon is a self-contained program. We don't need to write it all in C. Writing parts of it in OCaml would make it simpler and less error-prone. In particular if the daemon was written in a more sane programming language then we could move the inspection code to run entirely inside the appliance, which would be more secure, much faster and much saner for the people implementing it. This patch series allows individual APIs to be rewritten in OCaml (I am _not_ proposing that we would ever reimplement all APIs this way). The third patch reimplements the ?file? API this way, showing that the code ends up smaller, safer and (because we can now use a chroot properly) more accurate. Rich.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 1/3] daemon: Allow parts of the daemon to be written in OCaml.
This change allows parts of the daemon to be written in the OCaml
programming language. I am using the ?Main Program in C? method along
with ?-output-obj? to create an object file from the OCaml code /
runtime, as described here:
https://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/intfc.html
This change doesn't make any functional changes yet. There is simply
an empty ?daemon.ml? file.
Note that the OCaml compiler (either ocamlc or ocamlopt) is now
required even for building from tarballs.

[Libguestfs] [PATCH 2/3] generator: Allow APIs to be implemented in OCaml.
Change the generator to allow individual APIs to be implemented in
OCaml. This is picked by setting:
impl = OCaml <ocaml_function>;
The generator creates ?do_function? (the same one you would have to
write by hand in C), with the function calling the named
?ocaml_function? and dealing with marshalling/unmarshalling the OCaml
parameters.
