So I managed to expose the DriverType and DriverInitParam types to Python.

It might not be the best way, but it works

There is an opened issue on PyO3 to discuss how they should implement and expose Rust enum to Python.
Maybe in the future we could remove this code and let it managed by PyO3.

[Wenzel]

Note: I had to remove the conditional compilation in DriverType:
https://github.com/Wenzel/libmicrovmi/pull/165/files#diff-adea2445327e39eb215de697b440dbbc02135357380fb612a10a9e659129a46bL25

But this is what we wanted with #151 anyway, so i will rebase once this other PR merged.

library init works (here on Xen), but read_physical implementation returns an empty List (?)

[Wenzel]

Ok, so, this implementation is not working:

        let mut buffer = Vec::with_capacity(size);
        self.driver.read_physical(paddr, &mut buffer).map_err(PyMicrovmiError::from)?;
        debug!("buffer = {:?}", buffer);

but this one is:

        let mut buffer2: [u8; 1024] = [0; 1024];
        self.driver.read_physical(paddr, &mut buffer2).map_err(PyMicrovmiError::from)?;
        debug!("buffer2 = {:?}", buffer2);

Why I can't manage to fill my vector and return it ?

[Wenzel]

Ok, so the catch was that Vec::with_capacity was creating an empty vec, so the array had a size of 0 🤡

This is fixed now.
