Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Some misc from my tree
Date: Sun, 26 Dec 2021 23:39:54 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1640590794.git.ehem+xen@m5p.com> (raw)

Some bits I had run across when looking at a piece of libxl.

Even though the purpose of the functions suggests they won't modify the
memory passed in via pointer, marking them constant provides better
reassurance.

While list_domains_details() and printf_info() had similar purposes their
interfaces were wildly different.  Make them more consistent.  I was
aiming to turn dump_by_dominfo_list() into a wrapper around
dump_by_config(), but didn't quite get there.

Having the functions named "printf" is wrong.  They are generating output
in a fixed format, there is no control over the format.  That is a write
or dump operation, not a formatted print.

Elliott Mitchell (5):
  tools/libxl: Mark pointer args of many functions constant
  tools/xl: Mark libxl_domain_config * arg of printf_info_*() const
  tools/xl: Rename printf_info()/list_domains_details() to dump_by_...()
  tools/xl: Merge down debug/dry-run section of create_domain()
  tools/xl: Fix potential deallocation bug
