It is also somewhat differnt from the normal semantics in QEMU. The behaviour of passing NULL for an "Error **errp" parameter indicates that the errors are to be ignored/discarded. This patch introduces atypical semantics, that the errors must be printed, so I'm not entirely convinced this patch is a win. > > Signed-off-by: Fabiano Rosas > --- > tests/unit/test-opts-visitor.c | 2 +- > util/qemu-option.c | 32 ++++++++++++++++++-------------- > 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) > diff --git a/util/qemu-option.c b/util/qemu-option.c > index bb38d305c9..c8e552823b 100644 > --- a/util/qemu-option.c > +++ b/util/qemu-option.c > @@ -938,7 +938,23 @@ QemuOpts *qemu_opts_parse(const char *group, const char *params, > QemuOpts *qemu_opts_parse_list(QemuOptsList *list, const char *params, > bool permit_abbrev, Error **errp) > { > - return opts_parse(list, params, permit_abbrev, false, false, errp); > + bool noisily = !errp; > + QemuOpts *opts = NULL; > + > + if (noisily) { > + Error *err = NULL; > + bool help_wanted = !opts_accepts_any(list); > + > + opts = opts_parse(list, params, permit_abbrev, true, help_wanted, &err); > + if (!opts && err) { > + error_report_err(err); > + } > + > + } else { > + opts = opts_parse(list, params, permit_abbrev, false, false, errp); > + } > + > + return opts; > } > > /** > @@ -952,19 +968,7 @@ QemuOpts *qemu_opts_parse_list(QemuOptsList *list, const char *params, > QemuOpts *qemu_opts_parse_noisily(QemuOptsList *list, const char *params, > bool permit_abbrev) > { > - Error *err = NULL; > - QemuOpts *opts; > - bool help_wanted = !opts_accepts_any(list); > - > - opts = opts_parse(list, params, permit_abbrev, true, help_wanted, &err); > - if (!opts) { > - if (help_wanted) { > - assert(!err); > - } else { > - error_report_err(err); > - } > - } > - return opts; > + return qemu_opts_parse_list(list, params, permit_abbrev, NULL); > } > > static bool qemu_opts_from_qdict_entry(QemuOpts *opts, > -- > 2.53.0 > > With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com ~~ https://hachyderm.io/@berrange :| |: https://libvirt.org ~~ https://entangle-photo.org :| |: https://pixelfed.art/berrange ~~ https://fstop138.berrange.com :|
