This makes the test not crash, but it is still not clearly visible in
the output what happened and with what tests, unless ran with
VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1.  It seems there should be some NULL-pointer check
somewhere under testCompareXMLToArgv and similar.  Unfortuntely making
testQemuInfoSetArgs part of the callback of virTestRun, in this case
testCompareXMLToArgv would be very cumbersome, but we should do at least
a little bit more because this patch itself does not seem to improve the
situation in my opinion.  See below:

Before this patch:

$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=0 build/tests/qemuxml2argvtest
TEST: qemuxml2argvtest
      ........................................ 40
      ........................................ 80
      ........................................ 120
      ........................................ 160
      ........................................ 200
      ................................fish: Job 1, 'VIR_TEST_DEBUG=0
      build/tests/qe…' terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary
      error)

After this patch:

$ VIR_TEST_DEBUG=0 build/tests/qemuxml2argvtest
TEST: qemuxml2argvtest
      ........................................ 40
      ........................................ 80
      ........................................ 120
      ........................................ 160
      ........................................ 200
      ........................................ 240
      ........................................ 280
      ........................................ 320
      ........................................ 360
      ........................................ 400
      ........................................ 440
      ........................................ 480
      ........................................ 520
      ........................................ 560
      ........................................ 600
      ........................................ 640
      ........................................ 680
      ........................................ 720
      ........................................ 760
      ........................................ 800
      ........................................ 840
      ........................................ 880
      ........................................ 920
      ........................................ 960
      ........................................ 1000
      ........................................ 1040
      ........................................ 1080
      ........................................ 1120
      ................                         1136 FAIL

In the first case I can see more information right away, albeit the test
suite crashing.

What about a non-NULL check for info->qemuCaps in testUpdateQEMUCaps()

Well, the problem really is that anything besides stuff run via
virTestRun is always in the same scenario. In this case we have a
per-test call of testQemuInfoSetArgs, which is a bit worse than the
usual setup calls before individual tests.

In this specific case I think we rather should split testQemuInfoSetArgs
into two chunks:

1) the setup part which just populates 'info' and can't fail
2) the more complex setup bits which should already be run under
virTestRun


Yeah, capability parsing could be split from there and the intermediate
data passed to the test function.  That could be made to look clean as
well.  OK

and/or (even better as that might actually be bug in our code) check in
virQEMUCapsSetArch() ?

IMO setters don't really need to do NULL-checks if the expectations are
correct.


Yep, if they are correct =)  But I agree that the issue is not there.
