Libvirt config converter can't handle file not ending with new line

Libvirt config converter can't handle file not ending with new line

[Wei Liu]

Hi Jim

I discover a problem when using xen_xl converter. When the file in
question doesn't end with a new line, I get the following error:

  error: configuration file syntax error: memory conf:53: expecting a value


After digging a bit (but haven't read libvirt code), it appears that the
file didn't end with a new line.

I have worked around this, but I think this is an issue that should be
fixed.

Thanks,
Wei.

I tried to get the exact file that caused the problem but it is already
destroyed by osstest.

A similar file:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/115436/test-amd64-amd64-libvirt-pair/debian.guest.osstest.cfg

If you hexdump -C it, you can see the last character is 0a. Remove it and
feed the file into the converter.

Wei.

I'm not able to reproduce this issue. The libvirt.git tree I tried was a bit 
dated, but even after updating to latest master I can't reproduce.

I tried several files without ending new lines, going both directions 
(domxml-to-native and domxml-from-native), but didn't see the mentioned error. 
Perhaps your config is revealing another bug which is being improperly reported. 
Can you provide an example of the problematic config?

Regards,
Jim
