Subject: [PULL 01/53] error: Fix examples in error.h's big comment
Date: Tue,  7 Jul 2020 23:24:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200707212503.1495927-2-armbru@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200707212503.1495927-1-armbru@redhat.com>

Mark a bad example more clearly.  Fix the error_propagate_prepend()
example.  Add a missing declaration and a second error pileup example.
