I believe this should do
xenXMError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,

goto cleanup;
similar to xenXMConfigGetString.

Can you explain what's going on here ("it needs to be this way to fix
xyz" is not an explanation; please give the input and output of
xenDaemonParseSxprChar). In particular, these look like preexisting
problems handling
serial = "/dev/ttyS0"
(where the port is not copied to chr->data.file.path). Is this correct?
If so, please state this explicitly and check that the above works. It
seems to me that your patch fixes /dev/ttyS0 in the array case, but not
when it is the only serial port. If this is correct,
"chr->data.file.path = strdup(port);" should be moved to
xenDaemonParseSxprChar. In fact there is already code there to do
exactly the same strdup for VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY.
Even taking the above into consideration, the code is going through some
extra hoops (and has a few bugs):
1) chr->type should already be correct if the port starts with "/dev",
but you have just overridden it to VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY.
2) "chr->type = VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TYPE_PTY" is not necessary.
3) "chr->target.port = def->nserials;" should be done always, not just
when /dev is matched.
In the end the code here should be simply:
/* Not really necessary (the enum evaluates to 0), but
I prefer to have it for clarity. */
chr->targetType = VIR_DOMAIN_CHR_TARGET_TYPE_SERIAL;
chr->target.port = def->nserials;
matching more or less the code you have in the "else" branch below.
Anything except the above should go in xenDaemonParseSxprChar.
Also, please add testcases. There are many cases that should be covered
for both XML->sxpr and xm->XML conversion.
I initially thought there was another problem in the code, which is what
to do when the <target> subelement is present and ends up defining a
third serial port without the first being present. However I changed my
mind since the qemu driver is anyway disregarding the port number as
well. Given this, the patch is already in pretty good shape.
Thanks,
Paolo
