Hi Antti,
El 13/08/15 a les 11:55, Antti Kantee ha escrit:
In summary, how would I go about writing portable host code which uses
rump_sys_open() and
its friends, while fixing the returned errno?
Without syscall emulation active, rump_sys_* return RUMP_E* errnos. The fact that they
match on NetBSD is a "coincidence".
> So, check against those.
Well, can't do that :-). My code is part of a library, it doesn't check the
errnos at all, just passes
them along to the upper layer.
But I get that you already have this situation in mind:
If you want to pass the errno around to some code which does not understand
rump kernels, it's up to your application to translate the values before
passing them on.
The problem here is that I'd be basically implementing
rumpuser__errtrans_rump2host(). A bit
worse than that, because my code would easily get out of sync if/when NetBSD
adds new errnos.
Since other host code using rump could easily need the same thing, why not just
put this in
librumpuser like its rumpuser__errtrans() counterpart? Would make life easier
for everyone
in this situation IMHO.
