similar to: [PATCH v3 00/22] Replace almost all uses of the Str module with PCRE.

v1 was here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-September/msg00135.html This is a more complete evolution of the earlier patch. It replaces most important uses of Str with PCRE throughout the code. It also extends the bindings with some useful features like case-insensitive regexps. The main places I *didn't* touch are the generator (GObject uses Str extensively); and

Str is a pretty ugly regexp module. Let's try to replace it with PCRE. This series of commits goes some small way towards that eventual goal. - - - I wonder if there was a deep reason why we had this? let unix2dos s = String.concat "\r\n" (Str.split_delim (Str.regexp_string "\n") s) I replaced it with what I think should be (nearly) equivalent: let unix2dos s =

This series adds a new output mode for virt-v2v, called -o json. It produces local files, just like -o local, although the metadata produced is a JSON file with data that v2v collected in the conversion process. This can be useful for converting to unsupported destinations, still based on QEMU/KVM. In addition to a simple different metadata, it offers a way to relocate the disks, with

We'd like to use PCRE instead of the awful Str module. However I don't necessarily want to pull in the extra dependency of ocaml-pcre, and in any case ocaml-pcre is rather difficult to use. This introduces very simplified and lightweight bindings for PCRE. They work rather like Str in that there is some global state (actually thread-local in this implementation) between the matching and

v2: - Change the OCaml code in the daemon to use PCRE instead of Str. - Call pcre_compile2 so we can capture the error code on failure. - Extend the test suite. - Some other cleanups, but very minor. Rich.

Miscellaneous refactoring, but the main one is to rename mllib/ as common/mltools/ Rich.

I rethought this again, as I think that it's a dangerous assumption to bake qemu-img measure output into our API. This patch series runs qemu-img measure behind the scenes, but then parses the output and sums it to a single number which we print. Doing that required a bit of reworking, moving the Jansson [JSON parser] bindings from virt-builder into the common directory and a couple of other

v7 was: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00169.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00184.html I believe this addresses all comments received so far. Also it now passes a test where I compared about 100 disk images processed with old and new virt-inspector binaries. The output is identical in all cases except one which is caused by a bug in blkid

This is just the utilities part of the patch series from: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00103.html I believe this addresses everything raised in comments on that patch series. Rich.

v5: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2017-June/msg00065.html Since v5, this now implements inspection almost completely for Linux and Windows guests. Rich.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1570407 This turned into quite an in-depth refactoring of how we handle OVAs. It also fixes a potential security issue. Rich.

This turned out to be rather more involved than I thought. We have lots of utility functions, spread all over the repository, with not a lot of structure. This moves many of them under common/ and structures them so there are clear dependencies. This doesn't complete the job by any means. Other items I had on my to-do list for this change were: - Split up mllib/common_utils into: -

v2 -> v3: - Renamed List.assoc_ -> List.assoc_lbl. - Rebased on top of current master branch. Rich.
