We should change them from die() to a new function, perhaps called "bug()" that works just like die, but will only die if the user explicitly asks to do so. Because these "die()" calls have found several bugs in the past. These are probably the few places I would say do a fprintf(stderr, ...) as well even when not debugging, because when they are hit, it means something horrible went wrong. > > record->data = NULL; > > @@ -1318,7 +1318,6 @@ static int get_page(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int cpu, > > if (offset & (handle->page_size - 1)) { > errno = -EINVAL; > - die("bad page offset %llx", offset); > return -1; > } > > @@ -1326,7 +1325,6 @@ static int get_page(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int cpu, > offset > handle->cpu_data[cpu].file_offset + > handle->cpu_data[cpu].file_size) { > errno = -EINVAL; > - die("bad page offset %llx", offset); > return -1; > } > > @@ -1892,7 +1890,7 @@ tracecmd_peek_data(struct tracecmd_input *handle, int cpu) > > record = handle->cpu_data[cpu].next; > if (!record->data) > - die("Something freed the record"); > + return NULL; I know I hate it when libraries do output, but the above really should be at least printed (maybe not crash). Because they are equivalent to a "WARN_ON()" in the kernel. And when I screw something up, these are the first notifications I see telling me I screwed something up ;-) I know I told you that we should get rid of all prints from the library, as I hate seeing them in applications (libgtk is horrible with that).

I think those die()s should do warning() by default and real die() if some compile time flag is set.
