While YAJL mostly works fine, it did not see any active development in
the last 3 years. OTOH, Jansson is another JSON C implementation, with
a very liberal license, and a much nicer API.
Hence, switch all of libguestfs from YAJL to Jansson:
- configure checks, and buildsystem in general
- packages pulled in the appliance
- actual implementations
- contrib scripts
- documentation
This also makes use of the better APIs available (e.g. json_object_get,
json_array_foreach, and json_object_foreach). This does not change the
API of our OCaml Yajl module.
When the LDM code was converted to the CLEANUP_* macros, a free()
invocation for a CLEANUP_FREE variable was left in the
ldmtool_diskgroup_volumes implementation, causing double-free on
success.
Updates commit 950951c67d.
GUESTFSD_EXT_CMD was used by OpenSUSE to track which external commands
are run by the daemon and package those commands into the appliance.
It is no longer used by recent SUSE builds, so remove it.
Thanks: Pino Toscano, Olaf Hering.
After the previous refactoring, we are able to link the daemon to
common/utils, and also remove some of the "duplicate" functions that
the daemon carried ("duplicate" in quotes because they were often not
exact duplicates).
Also this removes the duplicate reimplementation of (most) cleanup
functions in the daemon, since those are provided by libutils now.
It also allows us in future (but not in this commit) to move utility
functions from the daemon into libutils.
-Wnull-dereference and -Wshift-overflow are new warnings in GCC 6, so do
not try to disable them with pragmas on older GCC versions.
Fixes commit a8e15ea924.
One -Wnull-dereference warning is real: we deliberately cause a
segfault in one of the tests.
There is a -Wshift-overflow bug in a Gtk 2 header.
The others are the result of shortcomings in GCC.
In all cases we have to add GCC diagnostic overrides to ignore
the warnings when compiling with ./configure --enable-werror.
Declare most of the stringsbuf as CLEANUP_FREE_STRINGSBUF, so they are
freed completely on stack unwind: use take_stringsbuf() in return
places to take away from the stringsbuf its content, and remove all the
manual calls to free_stringslen (no more needed now).
This requires to not use free_stringslen anymore on failure in the
helper functions of stringsbuf, which now leave the content as-is (might
be still useful even on error).
This allows us to simplify the memory management of stringsbuf's, which
are not properly fully freed, fixing memory leaks in some error paths
(which were not calling free_stringslen).
Require qemu >= 1.3.0, the first version that supported
`qemu-img --output=json'.
This means we require yajl (for parsing the JSON output of qemu-img),
and that in turn has consequences elsewhere.
