[libvirt] [PATCH] Improved error messages in XM conf module

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The attached patch improves error handling in the XM config file
parser (src/conf.c).

Currently it has a custom error function called virConfError which has
three problems.  Firstly the conf argument is ignored and therefore
pointless to even pass.  Secondly the function takes a line number
parameter (for reporting the line number where parsing failed), but
this is swallowed and not printed in error messages.  Thirdly, and
most importantly, the name of the file where the error occurs is not
printed by default unless the caller happens to print it.

If there is an _empty_ file in /etc/xen we get this error:

  # virsh list --all
  libvir: error : failed to read configuration file /etc/xen/foobar

but if the spurious file under /etc/xen is non-empty, like a script,
you get completely anonymous errors such as:

  libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting an assignment

or:

  libvir: error : configuration file syntax error: expecting a value

The patch fixes this by printing out the filename and line number if
these are available from the parser context (and the parser context is
passed to virConfError instead of the unused virConfPtr).  With this
patch you'll get errors for the second case like this:

  # virsh list --inactive
  libvir: error : /etc/xen/foobar:1: expecting a value

Rich.
