My recollection was that Peter originally added virdomainlist.c to solve
a link error - our use of virGetDomain() caused a link failure when
trying to build the LXC driver. LXC requires several functions from
domain_conf.c, but apparently was not linking against the souce for
datatypes.c, which made virGetDomain() the first instance of a linking
problem.
But in the meantime, we have refactored the Makefile, and how LXC is
linked in the first place. I'm wondering if Daniel's commit 284143b
makes it possible to use virGetDomain() directly from domain_conf.c in
the first place. If that is the case, then the answer is 'get rid of
virdomainlist.c/virobjectlist.c, and stick everything in the appropriate
foo_conf.c instead'. If we still get a link failure for LXC in spite of
using virGetDomain() directly from domain_conf.c, then it might be worth
investigating that link failure first.
Yeah, that doesn't quite answer the question (one file virobjectlist.c
shared among multiple objects, vs. one file per object type), but
hopefully it helps in figuring out a way forward.
