Since the default PHP test runner ignores a good number of environment
variables to potentially tampering the test suite execution, create a
custom php-for-tests.sh script which does nothing more than sourcing the
custom environment that our run-php-tests.sh outputs and running the
actual "php" executable (the one found by configure).
This fixes the loading of the guestfs_php.so module in the test suite,
as the libguestfs.so.0 library can be found by that module.
Replaces code such as:
fd = open "test1.img"
ftruncate fd, size
close fd
g.add_drive "test1.img"
with the shorter and simpler:
g.add_drive_scratch size
- Use ./run script to run the tests.
- Set environment variables correctly, including $PATH.
- Test the locally built, not installed, copy of libguestfs.
By using the once_had_no_optargs flag, this change is backwards
compatible for callers (except Haskell, PHP and GObject as discussed
in earlier commit).
We partitioned the disk, and then tried to create a PV on the whole
disk. LVM gave the error:
Device /dev/vda not found (or ignored by filtering).
It is unclear how this bug persisted for so long. It might be due to
a change in LVM.
This large commit changes the generator so that optional arguments
can be supported for functions.
The model for arguments (known as the "style") is changed from
(ret, args) to (ret, args, optargs) where optargs is a more limited
list of arguments.
One function has been added which takes optional arguments, it is
"add-drive-opts", modelled as:
(RErr, [String "filename"], #required
[Bool "readonly"; String "format"; String "iface"]) #optional
Note that this function is processed in the library (does not go over
the RPC protocol to the daemon). This has allowed us to simplify
the current implementation by omitting changes related to RPC or the
daemon, although we plan to add these at some point in the future.
From C this function can be called in 3 different ways as in these
examples:
guestfs_add_drive_opts (g, filename,
GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY, 1,
GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_FORMAT, "raw",
-1);
(the argument(s) between 'filename' and '-1' are the optional ones).
guestfs_add_drive_opts_va (g, filename, args);
where 'args' is a va_list. This works like the first version.
struct guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv optargs = {
.bitmask = GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_READONLY_BITMASK,
.readonly = 1,
}
guestfs_add_drive_opts_argv (g, filename, &optargs);
This last form lets you construct lists of optional arguments, and
is used by guestfish and the language bindings.
In guestfish optional arguments are used like this:
add-drive-opts filename readonly:true
In OCaml these are mapped naturally to OCaml optional arguments, eg:
g#add_drive_opts ~readonly:true filename;
In Perl these are mapped to extra arguments, eg:
$g->add_drive_opts ($filename, readonly => 1);
In Python these are mapped to optional arguments, eg:
g.add_drive_opts ("file", readonly = 1, format = "qcow2")
In Ruby these are mapped to a final hash argument, eg:
g.add_drive_opts("file", {})
g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1)
g.add_drive_opts("file", :readonly => 1, :iface => "virtio")
In PHP these are mapped to extra parameters. This is not quite
accurate since you cannot omit arbitrary optional parameters, but
there's not much than can be done within the limitations of PHP
as a language.
Unimplemented in: Haskell, C#, Java.
Note that these are not complete on 32 bit architectures. PHP doesn't
offer any convenient 64 bit type (on 32 bit). Therefore you should
always use these PHP bindings on 64 bit.
