Like this? Fails without discussed patch and works with it, yeah.


#include "libqtest.h"
#include <glib.h>

#define TYPE_SPAPR_PCI_HOST_BRIDGE "spapr-pci-host-bridge"

static void test_phb_device(void)
{
    qtest_start("-device " TYPE_SPAPR_PCI_HOST_BRIDGE ",index=100");

    qtest_end();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    g_test_init(&argc, &argv, NULL);

    qtest_add_func("/qmp/phb_device", test_phb_device);

    return g_test_run();
}
