From 2112c4a8297592045ac8ed8b0677e81208296364 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kevin Wolf Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 10:10:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] error: Add error_abort Message-id: <1414059011-15516-3-git-send-email-kwolf@redhat.com> Patchwork-id: 61836 O-Subject: [RHEL-7.1 qemu-kvm PATCH v2 2/8] error: Add error_abort Bugzilla: 1088176 RH-Acked-by: Jeffrey Cody RH-Acked-by: Markus Armbruster RH-Acked-by: Max Reitz From: Peter Crosthwaite Add a special Error * that can be passed to error handling APIs to signal that any errors are fatal and should abort QEMU. There are two advantages to this: - allows for brevity when wishing to assert success of Error ** accepting APIs. No need for this pattern: Error * local_err = NULL; api_call(foo, bar, &local_err); assert_no_error(local_err); This also removes the need for _nofail variants of APIs with asserting call sites now reduced to 1LOC. - SIGABRT happens from within the offending API. When a fatal error occurs in an API call (when the caller is asserting sucess) failure often means the API itself is broken. With the abort happening in the API call now, the stack frames into the call are available at debug time. In the assert_no_error scheme the abort happens after the fact. The exact semantic is that when an error is raised, if the argument Error ** matches &error_abort, then the abort occurs immediately. The error messaged is reported. For error_propagate, if the destination error is &error_abort, then the abort happens at propagation time.
