Libguestfs - Mar 2020 - [PATCH libnbd v3] Add Go language bindings (golang) (RHBZ#1814538).

This feature is roughly finished now, although it needs a few more
tests and some examples.

It's pretty much up to par with all the other bindings, but it lacks a
completely safe AIO buffer.  It won't stop you from freeing the buffer
too early) because golang's GC inexplicably lacks a way to declare a
root from C.  I can probably do it with a global variable and ref
counting on the golang side, but ... really?

For ease of review I have placed the generated
golang/src/libguestfs.org/libnbd directory here:

http://oirase.annexia.org/tmp/libnbd-go/

Rich.

This adds a mostly complete implementation of libnbd bindings for
golang.  Synchronous calls and callbacks are fully supported.  There
is a reasonably complete test suite.

Asynchronous calls are also working, with the caveat that the AIO
buffer is not GC-safe (as in other languages).  At the moment the
caller has to ensure that the AIO buffer passed in when starting the
command remains live until the command has completed (like in C).  We
may fix this properly in future, hopefully without needing to change
the golang API.

Thanks: Daniel P. Berrangé for invaluable help with this feature.

+// Helpers functions to register a Go callback function to a C
+// function. For a simple example, look at how SetErrorFunc works in
+// error.go.
+//
+// - Create a struct that will contain at least the Go callback to
+//   invoke (errorContext).
+//
+// - Create an exported Golang function whose job will be to retrieve
+//   the context and execute the callback in it
+//   (connErrCallback). Such a function should receive a callback ID
+//   and will use it to retrive the context.
+//
+// - Create a CGO function similar to the above function but with the
+//   appropriate signature to be registered as a callback in C code
+//   (connErrCallbackHelper). Notably, it will have a void* argument
+//   that should be cast to long to retrieve the callback ID. It
+//   should be just a thin wrapper to transform the opaque argument to
+//   a callback ID.
+//
+// - Create a CGO function which will be a wrapper around the C
+//   function to register the callback (virConnSetErrorFuncWrapper). Its
+//   only role is to transform a callback ID (long) to an opaque (void*)
+//   and call the C function.
+//
+// - When setting up a callback (SetErrorFunc), register the struct from first
step
+//   with registerCallbackId and invoke the CGO function from the
+//   previous step with the appropriate ID.
+//
+// - When unregistering the callback, don't forget to call freecallbackId.
+//
+// If you need to associate some additional data with the connection,
+// look at saveConnectionData, getConnectionData and
+// releaseConnectionData.
