The issue here is that, in QMP, the error is a string and in camel case,
e.g. "GenericError". I've use the idl to generate an enum from the
different error strings.

I could remove some underscores '_' from the libxl ERROR_* integer
values, e.g. ERROR_QMP_GENERICERROR. But if you have a better suggestion
on how to transform "CommandNotFound" into a ERROR_QMP_*, I'll take it.

If qemu invent a new error code, libxl should not call
qmp_error_class_to_libxl_error_code(), because libxl would not have been
able to generate a libxl__qmp_error_class from the new error code.
But I could add an assert(false) and return ERROR_FAIL instead of the
abort.

It's not dead, I reuse "o", as I get "desc" from "o".
I could just create new variables here instead of reusing the same one
(o) over and over again, e.g. obj_id, obj_error, obj_desc.
Should I add here that we are parsing: {"error":{"desc": X }} ?

Do you mean that if the QMP server doesn't respect the QMP protocol, I
should print more debug here?
If we are at this point in the programme, we know that the server sent:
{"error": X }
I'm tempted to say that if "class" or "desc" isn't present, we could say
so and declare the server broken (and disconnect).

QEMU will send two messages at once, e.g. when asking to eject or change
the cdrom, QEMU will often send the response to our command and an event
at the same time. So we need a loop to parse all messages received.
But there is always a \r\n at the end of every commands.

I'm attempting to detect here if there's something left in the buffer
that hasn't been parsed yet. If there is nothing left, we can free the
buffer.
Or do you mean that the condition should be buf_consumed == buf_used ?

I'm using libxl_write_exactly().
On the other end, I've just realize that I'm also using
libxl__sendmsg_fds(), which I guess may not send everything. But the
function also doesn't seems to the caller know how much have been sent.
Should I keep using libxl_write_exactly() ?
I'm going to need to be able to track how much data have been sent for
at least sendmsg() anyway, and try again later.

It is done by libxl__ev_qmp_init, which _dispose calls, itn't that
enough?

ID can be string, or any json value. Maybe we could have
{"libxl-id": number} as "id"?
But 0x786c7100 as starting point would work fine as well.
I don't think it matter if the value wrap. Beside adding 1 to generate a
new id, and compare, I don't think the id should be use for anything
else.
