Description Matthias 2011-03-02 15:27:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
In the documentation there is buggy C-code examples. 
All errors are like the line beneath or similar:
const char *xmlconfig = "<domain>........</domain>";
but it should be like this:
const char xmlconfig[] = "<domain>........</domain>";


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Edition 1
Comment 1 Eric Blake 2012-04-19 23:48:18 UTC 
Which documentation?  Can you post a URL where you found this bad example?  I could not find any hits with 'git grep "xmlconfig ="' in libvirt.git, so the documentation must come from elsewhere, but I don't know where to assign this BZ without some hints.
Comment 2 Matthias 2012-04-20 16:48:12 UTC 
Actually I can't remember where I found the bug exactly. Sorry but it's a year ago.
I used the package from the opensuse 11.3 distribution, so maybe it might not be of any relevance, as this version of opensuse is no longer supported.
Comment 3 Eric Blake 2012-04-23 15:02:32 UTC 
Then I will go ahead and close this bug; if you later find a real doc problem, feel free to reopen this or a new BZ.
