Quick summary first, long introduction afterwards.
>From the rfc:
o rebased on top of master
o dropped patch "qapi: qapi.py: allow the "'" character be escaped"
o split patch "qerror: drop qerror_abort()" into two patches
o fixed tcp_start_outgoing_migration() not to use QERR_ macros
o fixed qemu-ga to use the new error format
o dropped more unused stuff
o improved several changelogs
Btw, please take a special look in patches 14/34, 15/34 and 16/34.
This series implements the 'Plan for error handling in QMP' as described
by Anthony in this email:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-07/msg03764.html
Basically, this replaces almost all error classes by GenericError (the
exception are a few error classes used by libvirt) and drops the error
data memeber. This also adds a free form string to error_set().
On the wire, we go from:
{ "error": { "class": "DeviceNotRemovable",
"data": { "device": "virtio0" },
"desc": "Device 'virtio0' is not removable" } }
to:
{ "error": { "class": "GenericError",
"desc": "Device 'virtio0' is not removable" } }
Internally, we go from:
void error_set(Error **err, const char *fmt, ...);
to:
void error_set(Error **err, ErrorClass err_class, const char *fmt, ...);
