From 08e64640357cd9517aa30fd49840f05f0f2ee3a4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Sat, 20 Jun 2015 09:33:56 +0200 Subject: qga/vss-win32: Document the DLL requires non-null errp requester.cpp uses this pattern to receive an error and pass it on to the caller (err_is_set() macro peeled off for clarity): ... code that may set errset->errp ... if (errset->errp && *errset->errp) { ... handle error ... } This breaks when errset->errp is null. As far as I can tell, it currently isn't, so this is merely fragile, not actually broken. The robust way to do this is to receive the error in a local variable, then propagate it up, like this: Error *err = NULL; ... code that may set err ... if (err) ... handle error ... error_propagate(errset->errp, err); } See also commit 5e54769, 0f230bf, a903f40.
