Hi Folks,
I am trying to add a function to tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc/xc.c and call that function from XendDomainInfo.py.
The diffs are shown below. the function in question is xc.register_domm_xen as shown below.

The diffs inside XendDomainInfo.py

the code compiles fine and gets executed during "xm create" command. but when I try to run the command I get the following error

[root@node4 vm_config_files]# xm create -c pc1_domm
Using config file "./pc1_domm".
Error: error return without exception set
[root@node4 vm_config_files]#

The /var/log/xen/xend.log shows the following error

[2008-04-28 11:27:17 4132] ERROR (XendDomainInfo:443) VM start failed
Traceback (most recent call last):

    xc.register_domm_xen(self.domid)
SystemError: error return without exception set

So the error happens in the function that I added. I don't know how to fix this problem. interestingly this problem doesn't happen on a 64 bit OS running python2.4. I am experiencing this problem on a 32 bit OS running on a 32 bit machine with python2.4. I tried other python versions 2.4.1 and 2.5.2 but same problem happens.


Could someone please tell me if I am doing anything wrong in the way I am defining the function? Has someone experienced the same problem?

Thanks for your help.

Sanjay
