Hi, I'll be doing a proper review later on, but a couple of observations for now: - The series fails 'check-remote_protocol' test after patch 3 but it's fixed later on. Note that per contribution guidelines the series must compile cleanly after every single patch. - The coding style is inconsistent even inside one patch in terms of function declaration. Please use the: returntype functionname(type1 arg1, type2 arg2) style and use two newlines between functions. - patch 3 implements both the remote driver stuff and directly qemu impl, we try to keep those separated - don't use line comments ( // comment ) - use g_autofree and g_autoptr instead of adding 'cleanup:' sections. We are trying to refactor the code to get away from the design pattern - avoid empty 'cleanup:' labels, return value directly (e.g. patch 8) - try to use virJSONValueAdd instead of virJSONValueLimitsAppendPositiveNumberLong, it can do the same without the extra helper by using the P modifier. Also make sure to check the return value of the JSON functions (patch 2). - the virsh implementation adds a lot of VSH_OT_ALIAS arguments with the spelling we tried to fix in the command you've copied it from. Do not add the old stuff again. - preserve spacing between blocks of code which are not related (e.g. patch 11) Rest of the review after I'll have a deeper look. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
