libctf, ld, binutils: add textual error/warning reporting for libctf
This commit adds a long-missing piece of infrastructure to libctf: the ability to report errors and warnings using all the power of printf, rather than being restricted to one errno value. Internally, libctf calls ctf_err_warn() to add errors and warnings to a list: a new iterator ctf_errwarning_next() then consumes this list one by one and hands it to the caller, which can free it. New errors and warnings are added until the list is consumed by the caller or the ctf_file_t is closed, so you can dump them at intervals. The caller can of course choose to print only those warnings it wants. (I am not sure whether we want objdump, readelf or ld to print warnings or not: right now I'm printing them, but maybe we only want to print errors? This entirely depends on whether warnings are voluminous things describing e.g. the inability to emit single types because of name clashes or something. There are no users of this infrastructure yet, so it's hard to say.) There is no internationalization here yet, but this at least adds a place where internationalization can be added, to one of ctf_errwarning_next or ctf_err_warn. We also provide a new ctf_assert() function which uses this infrastructure to provide non-fatal assertion failures while emitting an assert-like string to the caller: to save space and avoid needlessly duplicating unchanging strings, the assertion test is inlined but the print-things-out failure case is not. All assertions in libctf will be converted to use this machinery in future commits and propagate assertion-failure errors up, so that the linker in particular cannot be killed by libctf assertion failures when it could perfectly well just print warnings and drop the CTF section. include/ * ctf-api.h (ECTF_INTERNAL): Adjust error text.
