Add missing 'extern' for VIR_EXPORT_VAR macro
The recent update to gnulib commit 9d7a37ecb2ab516c19164a57b8aeb32016a99d2c Author: Eric Blake <eblake@redhat.com> Date: Thu Sep 15 15:12:52 2016 -0500 build: update to latest gnulib Pulled in a change that adds -fno-common to the default compiler flags commit bf8e658ffadb95d444f56d222d04c9af955af765 Author: Jim Meyering <meyering@fb.com> Date: Fri Sep 2 09:16:16 2016 -0700 manywarnings: add -fno-common This caused libvirt Mingw build to break with the compiler reporting 100's of definitions of virConnectAuthPtrDefault ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virarch.o):virarch.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault' ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):viralloc.c:(.bss+0x0): first defined here ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viratomic.o):viratomic.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault' ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viraudit.o):viraudit.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault' ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virauth.o):virauth.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault' ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-viralloc.o):/home/berrange/src/virt/libvirt/src/util/viralloc.c:87: first defined here ./.libs/libvirt_util.a(libvirt_util_la-virauthconfig.o):virauthconfig.c:(.bss+0x0): multiple definition of `virConnectAuthPtrDefault' ...snip... The cause is our VIR_EXPORT_VAR macro which has some magic on win to add dllexport/dllimport to the variable declaration. Unfortunately the dllexport branch missed off the 'extern' keyword, so the header file was in fact declaring an instance of the variable in every source file. Previously the linker would merge all these definitions into one, but that no longer happens due to -fno-common Signed-off-by: Daniel P. Berrange <berrange@redhat.com>
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
