Subject: libxl: builtin list types should be pass-by-reference
X-Git-Tag: archive/raspbian/4.8.0-1+rpi1~1^2~11559
X-Git-Url: https://dgit.raspbian.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4883b4ee766718b56bfd1806b9cefd0792215e1f;p=xen.git

libxl: builtin list types should be pass-by-reference

This makes all _destroy functions consistent wrt freeing the actual
reference passed in. Previously we were relying on the reference
contained within the type itself which worked but was semantically a
little confusing.
