Hi, this patch serie adds a new GUID type in the generator, which would do the same as String, but also validating (just in the C output) the passed GUID string. This allows to reject invalid GUIDs before passing them to low-level tools. Pino Toscano (4): utils: add a function to validate a GUID string generator: add a GUID parameter type generator: generate code for parameter validation

libguestfs has used double and triple underscores in identifiers. These aren't valid for global names in C++. (http://stackoverflow.com/a/228797) These large but completely mechanical patches change the illegal identifiers to legal ones. Rich.

These patches contain the beginnings of discard (a.k.a. trim or unmap) support. This will allow us to change virt-sparsify to work on disk images in-place (instead of using slow & inefficient copying). The approach used is to add an optional 'discard' parameter to add-drive. It has 3 possible settings: - 'disable' : the default, no discard is done - 'besteffort' :

This set of patches: - Adds new APIs to support discard in libguestfs. - Adds discard support to virt-format. - Adds discard support to virt-sysprep. - Implements virt-sparsify --in-place. This is now working, after fixing the rather stupid bug in fstrim. I've pushed the ones which were ACKed previously + the fstrim fix. Rich.

This still isn't working at the moment. See: http://marc.info/?t=139457409300003&r=1&w=2 This set of patches: - Adds new APIs to support discard in libguestfs. - Adds discard support to virt-format. - Adds discard support to virt-sysprep. - Implements virt-sparsify --in-place. Rich.
