It might be nicer to give a better error message to the user.
What do you think about something like (broken whitespace ahead):
if (machine->smp.threads != 1) {if (machine->smp.threads != 1) {
error_setg(&error_fatal, "More than one thread specified, but multithreading unsupported");
return;
}
OK, I think I wanted to do this and I changed my mind, obviously, I do not recall why.
I will do almost the same but after a look at error.h I will use error_report()/exit() instead of error_setg()/return as in:
+ /* Explicitly do not support threads */
+ if (machine->smp.threads != 1) {
+ error_report("More than one thread specified, but multithreading unsupported");
+ exit(1);
+ }
or add an 'Error **errp' parameter to s390_init_cpus() and use error_setg()
as initially proposed. s390x_new_cpu() would benefit from it also.
