Description Eric Blake 2014-06-26 13:57:27 UTC
Cloning to Fedora; F19, F20, and rawhide are all impacted. Rawhide will pick up the fix when it rebases to libvirt 1.2.6.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1113316 +++

Description of problem:
Due to a bug in libvirt-api.xml, the python bindings have declared VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4 = 1 even though the C code has defined it as 0.  Python code trying to handle VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_ID_GRAPHICS that uses the symbolic name to decode its callback parameter will be acting on the wrong information.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
The bug has been present in upstream libvirt since 0.8.0

How reproducible:

    docs: publish correct enum values
    
    We publish libvirt-api.xml for others to use, and in fact, the
    libvirt-python bindings use it to generate python constants that
    correspond to our enum values.  However, we had an off-by-one bug
    that any enum that relied on C's rules for implicit initialization
    of the first enum member to 0 got listed in the xml as having a
    value of 1 (and all later members of the enum were equally
    botched).
    
    The fix is simple - since we add one to the previous value when
    encountering an enum without an initializer, the previous value
    must start at -1 so that the first enum member is assigned 0.
    
    The python generator code has had the off-by-one ever since DV
    first wrote it years ago, but most of our public enums were immune
    because they had an explicit = 0 initializer.  The only affected
    enums are:
    - virDomainEventGraphicsAddressType (such as
    VIR_DOMAIN_EVENT_GRAPHICS_ADDRESS_IPV4), since commit 987e31e
    (libvirt v0.8.0)
    - virDomainCoreDumpFormat (such as VIR_DOMAIN_CORE_DUMP_FORMAT_RAW),
    since commit 9fbaff0 (libvirt v1.2.3)
    - virIPAddrType (such as VIR_IP_ADDR_TYPE_IPV4), since commit
    03e0e79 (not yet released)
    
    Thanks to Nehal J Wani for reporting the problem on IRC, and
    for helping me zero in on the culprit function.

    values.
