I haven't reviewed this one closely yet, but it would help if you added a
test in tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c and a new pair of files in
tests/qemuxml2argvdata/* that exercise the code to prove the new command
line options look sane.


Two questions about creating a test for this code. How do I get the
actual args so I can compare them to my expected args to see what
isn't matching up? VIR_TEST_DEBUG=2 shows me what tests fail but not
any detail about why.

VIR_TEST_DEBUG=1 shows a diff between expected and actual text; I'm not sure why VIR_TEST_DEBUG=2 wouldn't do the same, without diving into the test code more.

I think it is because one of the parameters to
qemu is a file descriptor which could change for each run. Is there
some type of wildcard I can use like fd=%. I don't see any other tests
using file descriptors to compare to and am not finding anything in
any documentation I can find.

tests/qemuxml2argvdata/qemuxml2argv-restore-v2-fd.args is an example file that hard-codes a particular fd, and sets things up so that qemuxml2argvtest.c passes that hard-coded fd through DO_TEST_FULL, which in turn passes it through the migrateFd argument of qemuBuildCommandLine.

This may mean that we need to refactor things slightly to make it easier for testing. One idea is to have normal calls to qemuBuildCommandLine call through a function pointer that opens a TAP and returns that FD; whereas running it from the testsuite sets that function pointer to provide a replacement function that just returns a hard-coded number rather than opening an fd.
