[Xen-devel] xl.cfg vfb list parsing issues

[Doug Freed <dwfreed@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

This issue came up in the #xen IRC channel on freenode, and Andrew
Cooper asked for somebody to email xen-devel so it could be fixed.  A
user had the following line in their domain config and couldn't figure
out why it wasn't working correctly:

vfb=['vnclisten="10.1.1.8:2"']

The answer is, of course, that the parser is not expecting the
parameter to be quoted.  Unfortunately, the above line is consistent
with how the setting is documented in the manpage:

"vnclisten="ADDRESS[:DISPLAYNUM]""

Andrew suggested that failing to parse the parameter should trigger a
parse error, rather than proceeding as if the setting hadn't been
provided at all.  At the very least, the manpage should be updated to
remove the quoting.
