Would it be worth asserting that these conditions are impossible, and making this function return void (the addition is always successful if it returns, since g_malloc0 aborts rather than failing with ENOMEM)? And the more I think about it, the more I think that qemu_open MUST provide a sane errno value on exit, so you need to make sure that all exit paths out of qemu_open have a sensible errno (whether or not the helper functions also have to leave errno sane is a matter of taste). -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
