[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/11] vl.c: Error message rework

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/11] vl.c: Error message rework

[Eduardo Habkost]

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Removed patch: "vl.c: Convert error sentences to simpler phrases"
* Removed patch: "vl.c: Reword -machine help error messages"
* Removed patch: "vl.c: Reword fw_cfg name prefix warning"
* Removed patch: "vl.c: Use US spelling for 'unrecognized'"
* New patch: "vl.c: Change 'fail to parse' error message to 'failed to parse'"
* Squashed "vl.c: trivial: Don't wrap lines unnecessarily"
  into "vl.c: Replace fprintf(stderr) with error_report()"

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Extra patches for many suggestions I got when changing vl.c to use
  error_report()

Eduardo Habkost (11):
  vl.c: Replace fprintf(stderr) with error_report()
  vl.c: Use error_report() when reporting shutdown signal
  vl.c: Remove periods and exclamation points from error messages
  vl.c: Use "warning:" prefix consistently on warnings
  vl.c: Use "cannot" instead of "can not" in error messages
  vl.c: Use 'quotes' instead of `quotes' in messages
  vl.c: Remove unnecessary uppercase in error messages
  vl.c: Change "fail to parse" error message to "failed to parse"
  vl.c: Simplify "ignoring deprecated option" warnings
  vl.c: Reword -no-kvm-pit-reinjection deprecation warning
  vl.c: Use "%s support is disabled" error messages consistently

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 01/11] vl.c: Replace fprintf(stderr) with error_report()

[Eduardo Habkost]

Replace most fprintf(stderr) calls on vl.c with error_report().

Multi-line messages were replaced by error_report() followed by
error_printf().

The following changes were made to the error messages:

* The "invalid date format" message was reworded to better fit
  the new error_report()+error_printf() pattern.
* On the remaining messages, only the trailing newlines, "qemu:" and
  "error:" message prefixes were removed.

The only remaining fprintf(stderr) calls are the ones at
qemu_kill_report(), because the error mesage is split in multiple
fprintf() calls.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* Indentation fix at "No machine specified" error message

Changes v2 -> v3:
* Don't include newlines on error_report() strings, use
  error_report() followed by error_printf()
  Reported-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
* Break a few long lines
* Avoid unnecessarily breaking some lines

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 02/11] vl.c: Use error_report() when reporting shutdown signal

[Eduardo Habkost]

This usage of fprintf(stderr) can't be directly converted to
error_report() like the others, because a single error message is split
into multiple fprintf() calls. Make separate error_report() calls for
each case.

Changes series v2 -> v3:
* Converted two additional cases in the same patch:
  "Cannot initialize crypto" and "curses support is disabled"
* Change from "fail to parse" to "failed to parse" will be done
  in a separate patch

I guess I would've squashed some of these together, and perhaps touched
up the rest of the files listed in MAINTAINERS under "Main loop", too

through my tree.

Thanks! Feel free to squash as many patches as you want together. I
split the changes just to make them easier to review and discuss.

Please have a look at pull-error-2015-11-03 in my tree at
<http://repo.or.cz/qemu/armbru.git>.  Only squashing, no code change.
If you like the result, I'll post a pull request.

Forgot to include this on changelog:

* vl.c: Replace fprintf(stderr) with error_report():
  * Don't include newlines on error_report() strings
    Reported-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com>
  * Break a few long lines
* vl.c: Remove periods and exclamation points from error messages
  * Remove exclamation points from some messages too
  * Fix "No machine specified, and there is no default" message, too
* vl.c: Remove unnecessary uppercase in error messages
  * Converted two additional cases in the same patch:
    "Cannot initialize crypto" and "curses support is disabled"
* vl.c: Simplify "ignoring deprecated option" warnings
  * No need to mention option name in error message, as it is already
    present in the prefix printed by error_report()
* vl.c: Reword -no-kvm-pit-reinjection deprecation warning
  * No need to mention option name in error message, as it is already
    present in the prefix printed by error_report()
* vl.c: Use "%s support is disabled" error messages consistently
  * Use "support is disabled" instead of "support disabled"
