[PATCH] report error when virProcessGetStatInfo() is unable to parse data
Posted by Ani Sinha 4 years, 1 month ago 
Currently virProcessGetStatInfo() always returns success and only logs error
when it is unable to parse the data. Make this function actually report the
error and return a negative value in this error scenario.

Couple of problems with this patch as is. I'm not against the idea of
reporting an error here. But couple of things needs to be addressed first:

1) Currently, all callers check for retval and report an error if -1 was
returned. This means, that even though this new message is reported it
is immediately overwritten in caller.

2) The non-linux implementation now has to report error too. I believe
it's obvious why from our previous discussion this morning.

Good. now we are moving in the right direction.

Let me fix the callers and send an updated patch. Meanwhile ...

Maybe you can fix your patch.

There is nothing to fix. With current master nor Linux nor non-Linux
variant reports any error, i.e. are consistent. This patch introduced
inconsistency and in my review I have pointed it out. Looking forward to v2.
