It is common to see the sequence: virErrorPtr save_err = virSaveLastError(); // do cleanup virSetError(save_err); virFreeError(save_err); on cleanup paths. But for functions where it is desirable to return the errno that caused failure, this sequence can clobber that errno. virFreeError was already safe; this makes the other two functions in the sequence safe as well, assuming all goes well (on OOM, errno will be clobbered, but then again, save_err won't reflect the real error that happened, so you are no longer preserving the real situation - that's life with OOM). * src/util/virterror.c (virSaveLastError, virSetError): Preserve errno.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization
Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities
of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software
available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of
the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of
Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic
resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing
long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but
should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
