So I don't think > there's benefit to adding the code to lock/unlock paths. And as noted I'd be very careful with that one too. I've got at least one counterexample of a code path which effectively does the same on a very common code path. Namely 'virDomainObjParseXML' uses: g_autoptr(virDomainObj) obj = NULL; and then returns directly on common failures such as XML parsing errors, post-parse callback errors or even errors from the validation callbacks. Spamming logs in such a common code path is definitely not acceptable.
