We prefer for things like this to have an enum defined, and use the
${enum-type-name}Type(To|From)String to convert between the string and
the numeric value. Then in the code that uses the value, we compare to
the enum rather than a plain number. For example, you can search for
virDomainHostdevSubsys in src/conf/domain_conf.[ch]. Basically you need:

* in the .h file:

  typedef enum {
      VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_DEFAULT = 0,
      VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_ONE,
      VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_ANOTHER,

      VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_LAST
  } virWhateverNameType;

VIR_ENUM_DECL(virWhateverName)

* in the .c file:

VIR_ENUM_IMPL(virWhateverName, VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_LAST,
              "default", "one", "another")

* at the place you parse:

 if ((def->whatever = virWhateverTypeFromString(type)) <= 0) {
     virReportError(.....);
     goto error/cleanup;
 }

* at the place you format:

if (def->whatever) {
    const char *whateverStr = virWhateverTypeToString(def->whatever);

    if (!whatever) {
       virReportError(VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR, "Bad whatever value"...);
       goto error/cleanup;
    }
    virAsprintf(buf, " whatever='%s', whateverStr);

* in the code that implements it:

switch (def->whatever) {
case VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_ONE:
    blah;
    break;
case VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_ANOTHER:
    bleh;
    break;
case VIR_WHATEVER_NAME_TYPE_DEFAULT:
default:
    break;
}

or something like that.

Those are the only issues I see with this patch now.

Kyle - what is your opinion of implementing the config this way. Does it
seem workable? Or was my ignorance of the subject matter showing when I
suggested putting "nativeMode='tagged'" as an attribute of a tag (rather
than putting "nativeTag" and "nativeMode" attributes directly in <vlan>,
as James did in the first version of the patch)?
