Assuming extraction (sigh) of the VIR_AUTOFREE,

While I'd definitely want this to be split into two patches if it was
fixing something under src/, but this is under tests/ and therefore I
did not bother. The reason for splitting a patch into smaller
semanticaly divided patches is to help distro maintainers to ease
backports.

And reviewers, and people digging through history possibly years
down the line.

Whether the change is in src/, tests/ or whatever else shouldn't
make a difference, it's all code and we routinely have to fix bugs
both in the library and in the corresponding test suite.

There is barely ever a reason *not* to split changes into smaller,
independent units; having to write "at the same time" in the commit
message should be your hint that you're doing it wrong ;)


Let me see, the whole sentence reads as follows:

    At the same time, rework virTestCompareToULL a bit so that local
    variables are named in the same fashion.

I don't see any problem with that. But okay, I'll send v2 splitting this tiny patch into even smaller ones :-P
