True; however, if you had snipped more context:

-    VIR_WARN("Object %p (%s) is not a virObjectLockable instance",
-              anyobj, obj ? obj->klass->name : "(unknown)");

the old context used the "? ... :" and would also have said "Object
(nil) (unknown) is not... " - I just went more direct and removed the
assumption that it's a virObjectLockable instance.  I can change the
message if that's all you object to though.

The goal here was the second half of the message to be more explicit.
