Which of these does folks prefer (same would apply to SetMaxMem). ONE ------ cmdSetmem(vshControl * ctl, vshCmd * cmd) { ... kilobytes = vshCommandOptInt(cmd, "kilobytes", &kilobytes); if (kilobytes <= 0) { virDomainFree(dom); vshError(ctl, FALSE, _("Invalid value of %d for memory size"), kilobytes); return FALSE; } if (virDomainGetInfo(dom, &info) != 0) { virDomainFree(dom); vshError(ctl, FALSE, _("Unable to verify MaxMemorySize")); return FALSE; } if (kilobytes > info.maxMem) { virDomainFree(dom); vshError(ctl, FALSE, _("Invalid value of %d for memory size"), kilobytes); return FALSE; } ... } TWO ----- cmdSetmem(vshControl * ctl, vshCmd * cmd) { ... kilobytes = vshCommandOptInt(cmd, "kilobytes", &kilobytes); if (kilobytes <= 0) { virDomainFree(dom); vshError(ctl, FALSE, _("Invalid value of %d for memory size"), kilobytes); return FALSE; } if (virDomainGetInfo(dom, &info) == 0) { if (kilobytes > info.maxMem) { virDomainFree(dom); vshError(ctl, FALSE, _("Invalid value of %d for memory size"), kilobytes); return FALSE; } } ... }
