[llvm-readobj/llvm-readelf] - Improve/cleanup the error reporting API.
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

Currently we have the following functions for error reporting:

LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN void reportError(Twine Msg);
void reportError(Error Err, StringRef Input); 
void reportWarning(Twine Msg);
void reportWarning(StringRef Input, Error Err);
void warn(llvm::Error Err);
void error(std::error_code EC);

Problems are: naming is inconsistent, arguments order is inconsistent,
some of the functions looks excessive.

After applying this patch we have:

void reportError(Error Err, StringRef Input); 
void reportError(std::error_code EC, StringRef Input);
void reportWarning(Error Err, StringRef Input);

I'd be happy to remove reportError(std::error_code EC, StringRef Input) too, but it
is used by COFF heavily.

Test cases were updated, they show an improvement introduced.

Can you use createStringError here?

I think if a variable already exists, keeping it probably doesn't hurt. Typing Obj->getFileName() takes a bit more characters.

I think <?> is confusing, and is worth fixing in this patch instead of deferring to a followup cleanup.

Could you perhaps make DynRegionInfo take a required filename parameter which can be initialized in ELFDumper's constructor so it's always available?

... any idea why this was necessary before? This is a different stream. Might be nice to have a comment in the code. (Same for above in error()).

Can these both be LLVM_ATTRIBUTE_NORETURN? I think they should have been so before too.

Ok, done.
(FTR, "<?>" is used in COFFDumper.cpp, I took the idea from there.)

Yes, I added it in D64472 because otherwise warnings reported could be printed at the wrong places.
(i.e. they were kind of randomly mixed to the standart output).

I added comments requested.

Done.

llvm_unreachable after handleAllErrors. handleAllErrors is not marked noreturn, so it needs manual annotation.
