Hmm, I wish you'd raised this issue on the list before investing all this work becasue IMHO the dependency on C++ is not something I would want to see in the libvirt project, even just for tests. It was a very delibrate decision that libvirt be a C project, not C++ project, and if we're going to extend libvirt to take code in any new language the choices that make sense looking to the future are Rust or Go, not C++.
