similar to: [PATCH 1/2] gobject: Use generator_built macro to ensure generated files are rebuilt properly.

This rather complex set of patches allow non-optargs functions to gain optional arguments, while preserving source and binary backwards compatibility. The problem is that we cannot add an optional argument to an existing function. For example, we might want to add flags to the 'lvresize' API which currently has no optional arguments.

I've been taking a long hard look at the protocol layer. It has evolved over a long time without any particular direction, and the result is, to say the least, not very organized. These patches take a first step at cleaning up the mess by abstracting out socket operations from the rest of the code. The purpose of this is to allow us to slot in a different connection layer under the

This patch isn't ready to go upstream. In fact, I think we might do a quick 1.30 release soon, and save this patch, and also the extensive changes proposed for the test suite[1], to after 1.30. Currently it is not safe to use the same handle from multiple threads, unless you implement your own mutexes. See: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#multiple-handles-and-multiple-threads These

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847880 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847881 This patch series adds various optional arguments to the tar-in and tar-out commands. Firstly (1/7) an optional "compress" flag is added to select compression. This makes the calls tgz-in/tgz-out/txz-in/txz-out deprecated, and expands the range of compression types available.

RConstOptString cannot return an error in the C api. This makes it a special case for the GObject api, as all other return types have a corresponding GError **err argument to return an error. This change removes this special case, and includes the possibility of an error return in the API. An error is indicated by setting *err to a non-NULL value. This change is in preparation for adding a close

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.

Since each ACQUIRE_LOCK/RELEASE_LOCK call must balance, this code is difficult to debug. Enable DEBUG_LOCK to add some prints which can help.

Add some warnings. Well, the first patch is a miscellaneous change, but patches 2-5 add some warnings. Rich.

The gobject bindings generate a large number of header files, which pollute /usr/include when installed. This patch moves them all into a guestfs-gobject/ subdirectory. guestfs-gobject.h remains in the same place. This change also moves generated source files into src/, because it makes the gobject directory a bit tidier. --- generator/Makefile.am | 3 +

John, This was my attempt to add symbol versioning to the library, letting us break ABI without breaking any existing callers. Unfortunately it doesn't work: - the new versioned symbols are marked local in libguestfs.so - the existing symbols should now have @GUESTFS_0.0 versions, but don't The documentation for this stuff is extremely thin, and I've got a bad case of

This is a simpler patch series to add symbol versioning. I have pushed patches 1-3 upstream. Rich.

These three patches (two were previously posted) can do simple operating system inspection in C. Example of use: ><fs> add-ro rhel55.img ><fs> run ><fs> inspect-os /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 ><fs> inspect-get-type /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 linux ><fs> inspect-get-distro /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhel ><fs> inspect-get-arch

This rather more complex patch series adds symbol versioning (7/7 shows it in action). This works for me, tested by running old and new virt-inspector binaries against the new library. Rich.
