When updating the source file in commit bd4f4d16, I forgot
that we also store the generated plain text version in git and
didn't regenerate it.

I also missed one spot that required an additional <p> tag, so
fix both mistakes in one go.

I can't think of any good reason to do either of those, and having the
examples there will just lead to unusable patch emails from people who
can't be bothered to read the entire page.

All the accesses to files outside our build or source directories
are now identified and appended into a file for later processing.
The location of the file that contains all the records can be
controlled via VIR_TEST_FILE_ACCESS env variable and defaults to
abs_builddir "/test_file_access.txt".

The script that will process the access file is to be added in
next commit.

If this enviroment variable is set, the virTestCompareToFile helper
will overwrite the file content we are comparing against, if the
file doesn't exist or it doesn't match the expected input.

This is useful when adding new test cases, or making changes that
generate a lot of output churn.

Check if the buffer is in error state and report an error if it is.

This replaces the pattern:
if (virBufferError(buf)) {
    virReportOOMError();
    goto cleanup;
}
with:

if (virBufferCheckError(buf) < 0)
    goto cleanup;

Document typical buffer usage to favor this.
Also remove the redundant FreeAndReset - if an error has
been set via virBufferSetError, the content is already freed.

The gnulib testsuite is relatively stable - the only times it is
likely to have a test change from pass to fail is on a gnulib
submodule update or a major system change (such as moving from
Fedora 18 to 19, or other large change to libc).  While it is an
important test for end users on arbitrary machines (to make sure
that the portability glue works for their machine), it mostly
wastes time for development testing (as most developers aren't
making any of the major changes that would cause gnulib tests
to alter behavior).  Thus, it pays to make the tests optional
at configure time, defaulting to off for development, on for
tarballs, with autobuilders requesting it to be on.  It also
helps to allow a make-time override, via VIR_TEST_EXPENSIVE=[01]
(much the way automake sets up V=[01] for overriding the configure
time default of how verbose to be).

Automake has some pretty hard-coded magic with regards to the
TESTS variable; I had quite a job figuring out how to keep
'make distcheck' passing regardless of the configure option
setting in use, while still disabling the tests at runtime
when I did not configure them on and did not use the override
variable.  Thankfully, we require GNU make, which lets me
hide some information from Automake's magic handling of TESTS.

On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer
can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit
via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR,
then use ./autogen.sh --no-git.  In this setup, we will now
avoid direct use of git.  Of course, this means no automatic
gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it
is expected that any developer in such a situation is already
prepared to deal with the fallout.

While reviewing proposed VIR_STRDUP conversions, I've already noticed
several places that do:

if (str && VIR_STRDUP(dest, str) < 0)

which can be simplified by allowing str to be NULL (something that
strdup() doesn't allow).  Meanwhile, code that wants to ensure a
non-NULL dest regardless of the source can check for <= 0.

Also, make it part of the VIR_STRDUP contract that macro arguments
are evaluated exactly once.

The code adaptation is not done right now, but in subsequent patches.
Hence I am not implementing syntax-check rule as it would break
compilation. Developers are strongly advised to use these new macros.
They are similar to VIR_ALLOC() logic: VIR_STRDUP(dst, src) returns zero
on success, -1 otherwise. In case you don't want to report OOM error,
use the _QUIET variant of a macro.

http://www.uhv.edu/ac/newsletters/writing/grammartip2009.07.01.htm
(and several other sites) give hints that 'onto' is best used if
you can also add 'up' just before it and still make sense. In many
cases in the code base, we really want the two-word form, or even
a simplification to just 'on' or 'to'.

Adding dots inside "exempli gratia" where missing.  While on that, I
took the liberty of changing it where found with simple grep.

There are many aspects of the guest XML which result in the
SELinux driver applying file labelling. With the increasing
configuration options it is desirable to test this behaviour.
It is not possible to assume that the test suite has the
ability to set SELinux labels. Most filesystems though will
support extended attributes. Thus for the purpose of testing,
it is possible to extend the existing LD_PRELOAD hack to
override setfilecon() and getfilecon() to simply use the
'user.libvirt.selinux' attribute for the sake of testing.

I've noticed a number of people sending patches with file

reasons)

* HACKING: Regenerate.

Based on a suggestion by John Ferlan:

This documents the following whitespace rules

      if(foo)   // Bad
      if (foo)  // Good

      int foo (int wizz)  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz)   // Good

      bar = foo (wizz);  // Bad
      bar = foo(wizz);   // Good

      typedef int (*foo) (int wizz);  // Bad
      typedef int (*foo)(int wizz);   // Good

      int foo( int wizz );  // Bad
      int foo(int wizz);    // Good

There is a syntax-check rule extension to validate all these rules.
Checking for 'function (...args...)' is quite difficult since it
needs to ignore valid usage with keywords like 'if (...test...)'
and while/for/switch. It must also ignore source comments and
quoted strings.

It is not possible todo this with a simple regex in the normal
syntax-check style. So a short Perl script is created instead
to analyse the source. In practice this works well enough. The
only thing it can't cope with is multi-line quoted strings of
the form

 "start of string\
more lines\
more line\
the end"

but this can and should be written as

 "start of string"
 "more lines"
 "more line"
 "the end"

with this simple change, the bracket checking script does not
have any false positives across libvirt source, provided it
is only run against .c files. It is not practical to run it
against .h files, since those use whitespace extensively to
get alignment (though this is somewhat inconsistent and could
arguably be fixed).

The only limitation is that it cannot detect a violation where
the first arg starts with a '*', eg

   foo(*wizz);

since this generates too many false positives on function
typedefs which can't be supressed efficiently.
