NWFilters can be provided name-value pairs using the following

The internal representation currently is so that a name is stored as a
string and the value as well. This patch now addresses the value part of it
and introduces a data structure for storing a value either as a simple
value or as an array for later support of lists.

This patch adjusts all code that was handling the values in hash tables
and makes it use the new data type.


+virNWFilterVarValuePtr
+virNWFilterVarValueCreateSimple(char *value)
+{
+    virNWFilterVarValuePtr val;
+
+    if (!isValidVarValue(value)) {
+        virNWFilterReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR,
+ _("Variable value contains illegal character"));

I tend to prefer 'invalid' over 'illegal' - they aren't breaking the law, just the program :)

VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR isn't very nice, since this one is user-visible; so VIR_ERR_INVALID_ARG may be the best bet.
Right...

ACK with those tweaks.

Thanks. I'll make these changes, of course. As said, I wasn't planning on checking this in, though, for 0.9.7 since it's 'incomplete' and also because of the dependency of this patch set on this one

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01227.html

and then after that there will be more with this one

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2011-October/msg01238.html

and more to come afterwards. Though having an early start on checking this in to 0.9.8 would be really good.
