qemu_opt_get_number_del() was added in commit 782730b along with
qemu_opt_get_del(), qemu_opt_get_bool_del() and qemu_opt_get_size_del().
It hasn't been used so far, but removing it makes the interface
irregular. I'd rather not. Covering all four in tests/test-qemu-opts.c
would be nice.
qemu_send_full() and qemu_recv_full() complement qemu_write_full(). On
the other hand, there's no qemu_read_full(). I don't think keeping the
two unused ones hurts, but I don't object to dropping them, either.
For what it's worth, glibc provides a macro to solve this problem once
and for all:
/* Evaluate EXPRESSION, and repeat as long as it returns -1 with `errno'
set to EINTR. */
# define TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY(expression) \
(__extension__ \
({ long int __result; \
do __result = (long int) (expression); \
while (__result == -1L && errno == EINTR); \
__result; }))
#endif
More elegant than writing the same old boring wrapper around everything
that can fail with EINTR.
qemu_signalfd_available() is unused since commit 6d32717. It's also the
only user of CONFIG_SIGNALFD. If we want to drop it, I recommend
dropping CONFIG_SIGNALFD as well.
