virNetworkDNSHostsDefParseXML was calling VIR_ALLOC(def->hosts) if
def->nhosts was 0. This is a waste of time, though, since
VIR_REALLOC_N is called a few lines further down, prior to any use of
def->hosts.

   But that allowed to make sure that def->nhosts was initialized in that
case and that's used later. Maybe just remove the
   if (VIR_ALLOC(def->hosts)<  0) {
   ...
   }

block ?

That crossed my mind when I first thought of cutting out this code, so I audited just to be sure - virNetworkDNSHostsDefParseXML() is called only by virNetworkDNSDefParseXML(), which always allocates the passed in def with VIR_ALLOC(), so def->nhosts is guaranteed to be initialized to 0. (Every other "nItems" in the virNetworkDNSDef is implicitly initialized; this is the only odd one, so removing it will eliminate potential confusion by anyone who is "coding by example". In general it seems that all of the ...ParseXML() functions assume that they're working with a struct that has been 0-filled.)

If we don't want to assume 0-filled structs, there's a *lot* of work to be done in the conf directory :-)
