In this case, we can continue the operation without the object, but if we have detected corruption, letting the user know as soon as possible is probably a good idea. In other words, should this instead be: warning("unable to read preferred base object: %s", ...); return 0; Or will some other part of the code already complained to stderr? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
