[Xen-devel] [XEN PATCH for-4.13 v2 0/4] libxl: gentypes: initialise array elements in json

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oleksandr Grytsov discovered that the libxl json idl parsing fails to
properly initialise array elements.

Fixing this is not entirely straightforward, because the code to do
the initialisation is not conveniently available as a separate
function.

To ease debugging and review, I have broken this patch up into 4 very
small refactorings which do not change the output, plus the one patch
to call the newly-provided initialiser.

I think this version addresses comments from Julien Grall on earlier
versions.  IMO it is a candiate for 4.13, and also backporting.

Ian Jackson (3):
  tools/libxl: gentypes.py: Prefer init_val to init_fn
  libxl: gentypes.py: Break out field_pass in ..._copy_deprecated
  libxl: gentypes.py: Break out libxl_C_type_do_init
