<advocacy> More code generation is better. Here is all the code you need to write to make a new libguestfs API function: http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=commitdiff;h=4ffa2d6798f7a2bf0baec8e1084659cf6358bc31 That's not a printing error, it really is just 38 lines of code. >From that template we generate: - RPC stubs similar to libvirt remote driver - bindings in around 8 programming languages - <guestfs.h> header file - several manual pages, eg: http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#api_calls - guestfish - part of the automated tests This is a huge time saver, and reduces bugs. </advocacy> Rich. -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com Fedora now supports 80 OCaml packages (the OPEN alternative to F#) http://cocan.org/getting_started_with_ocaml_on_red_hat_and_fedora -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
