Actually, I'm turning this function into a macro as filename,
function name and line number needs to be passed. The new
function virAsprintfInternal is introduced with the extended set
of arguments.
The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
Right now, the only way to get at the contents of a virBuffer is
to destroy it. But there are cases in my upcoming patches where
peeking at the contents makes life easier. I suppose this does
open up the potential for bad code to dereference a stale pointer,
by disregarding the docs that the return value is invalid on the
next virBuf operation, but such is life.
* src/util/buf.h (virBufferCurrentContent): New declaration.
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferCurrentContent): Implement it.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (buf.h): Export it.
* tests/virbuftest.c (testBufAutoIndent): Test it.
I'm tired of writing:
bool sep = false;
while (...) {
if (sep)
virBufferAddChar(buf, ',');
sep = true;
virBufferAdd(buf, str);
}
This makes it easier, allowing one to write:
while (...)
virBufferAsprintf(buf, "%s,", str);
virBufferTrim(buf, ",", -1);
to trim any remaining comma.
* src/util/buf.h (virBufferTrim): Declare.
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferTrim): New function.
* tests/virbuftest.c (testBufTrim): Test it.
Return statements with parameter enclosed in parentheses were modified
and parentheses were removed. The whole change was scripted, here is how:
List of files was obtained using this command:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$'
Found files were modified with this command:
sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Then checked for nonsense.
The whole command looks like this:
git grep -l -e '\<return\s*([^()]*\(([^()]*)[^()]*\)*)\s*;' | \
grep -e '\.[ch]$' -e '\.py$' | xargs sed -i -e \
's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\(\([^()]*([^()]*)[^()]*\)*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\4_' \
-e 's_^\(.*\<return\)\s*(\([^()]*\))\s*\(;.*$\)_\1 \2\3_'
Rather than having to adjust all callers in a chain to deal with
indentation, it is nicer to have virBuffer do auto-indentation.
* src/util/buf.h (_virBuffer): Increase size.
(virBufferAdjustIndent, virBufferGetIndent): New prototypes.
* src/libvirt_private.syms (buf.h): Export new functions.
* src/util/buf.c (virBufferAdjustIndent, virBufferGetIndent): New
functions.
(virBufferSetError, virBufferAdd, virBufferAddChar)
(virBufferVasprintf, virBufferStrcat, virBufferURIEncodeString):
Implement auto-indentation.
* tests/virbuftest.c (testBufAutoIndent): Test it.
(testBufInfiniteLoop): Don't rely on internals.

We already have virAsprintf, so picking a similar name helps for
seeing a similar purpose. Furthermore, the prefix V before printf
generally implies 'va_list', even though this variant was '...', and
the old name got in the way of adding a new va_list version.
global rename performed with:
$ git grep -l virBufferVSprintf \
| xargs -L1 sed -i 's/virBufferVSprintf/virBufferAsprintf/g'
then revert the changes in ChangeLog-old.
A few of the tests were missing basic sanity checks, while most
of them were doing copy-and-paste initialization (in fact, some
of them pasted the argc > 1 check more than once!). It's much
nicer to do things in one common place, and minimizes the size of
the next patch that fixes getcwd usage.

The current code will go into an infinite loop if the printf generated
string is >= 1000, AND exactly 1 character smaller than the amount of free
space in the buffer. When this happens, we are dropped into the loop body,
but nothing will actually change, because count == (buf->size - buf->use - 1),
and virBufferGrow returns unchanged if count < (buf->size - buf->use)
Fix this by removing the '- 1' bit from 'size'. The *nprintf functions handle
the NULL byte for us anyways, so we shouldn't need to manually accommodate
for it.
Here's a bug where we are actually hitting this issue:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602772
v2: Eric's improvements: while -> if (), remove extra va_list variable,
make sure we report buffer error if snprintf fails
v3: Add tests/virbuftest which reproduces the infinite loop before this
patch, works correctly after
