That's what the LOG_ERROR()'s are for. They tell you where and why. retval's are not propagated consistently or relyably in OpenOCD (or any other C program I've seen really). We could switch to a language with exceptions(C++), but we've had that discussion and there isn't a strong incentive to do so with OpenOCD now that we've got exceptions and resource tracking for menial stuff in Tcl. -- Øyvind Harboe PayBack incident management system Reduce costs and increase quality, free Starter Edition http://www.payback.no/index_en.html _______________________________________________ Openocd-development mailing list Openocd-development@lists.berlios.de https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/openocd-development
