Subject: [PATCH v5 22/24] util: add support for formatting a program name in messages
Date: Thu,  8 Jan 2026 17:03:36 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108170338.2693853-23-berrange@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108170338.2693853-1-berrange@redhat.com>

The error_report function can include the program name in any
messages it prints. The qemu_log function has no equivalent
behaviour.

This introduces support for a "program name" in the new
messages API, which will be included by default for all
binaries.

This change tweaks the output of the error_report function,
adding a space between the program name and the location
info. The qemu_log function will gain the program name. This
can be easily seen with the 'log' trace backend, and how it
is now more closely matching error_report output.

Before:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish -d 'trace:qcrypto*'
  qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x5584e13937f0 dir=fish
  qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x5584e13937f0 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none>
  qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory

After:

  # qemu-system-x86_64 -object tls-creds-x509,id=t0,dir=fish -d 'trace:qcrypto*'
  qemu-system-x86_64: qcrypto_tls_creds_x509_load TLS creds x509 load creds=0x5584e13937f0 dir=fish
  qemu-system-x86_64: qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path TLS creds path creds=0x5584e13937f0 filename=ca-cert.pem path=<none>
  qemu-system-x86_64: Unable to access credentials fish/ca-cert.pem: No such file or directory

When adding this the '-msg program-name=on|off' option is
introduced, so that the program name (which is enabled by
default) can be supressed if desired. This could be useful
if '-msg guest-name=on' is being used as a more informative
identifier.
