Hi all! Here is a proposal of auto propagation for local_err, to not call error_propagate on every exit point, when we deal with local_err.
There are also two issues with errp: 1. error_fatal & error_append_hint/error_prepend: user can't see this additional info, because exit() happens in error_setg earlier than info is added. [Reported by Greg Kurz] 2. error_abort & error_propagate: when we wrap error_abort by local_err+error_propagate, resulting coredump will refer to error_propagate and not to the place where error happened. (the macro itself don't fix the issue, but it allows to [3.] drop all local_err+error_propagate pattern, which will definitely fix the issue) [Reported by Kevin Wolf] Still, applying new macro to all errp-functions is a huge task, which is impossible to solve in one series. So, here is a minimum: solve only [1.], by adding new macro to all errp-functions which wants to call error_append_hint. v4; 02: - check errp to be not NULL - drop Eric's r-b 03: add Eric's r-b 04: - rename macro to ERRP_AUTO_PROPAGATE [Kevin] - improve comment and commit msg, mention error_prepend 05: - handle error_prepend too - use new macro name - drop empty line at the end commit message for auto-generated commits updated, commits regenerated.
