[PATCH v2 0/4] tools: iio: Send error messages to stderr

[Cristina Opriceana]

This patchset indends to make some cleanup and send printf
error messages to stderr. The changes were performed with coccinelle for
failure messages and manual for other cases. The following script
was used:

[PATCH v2 1/4] tools: iio: Move printf failure messages to stderr

[Cristina Opriceana]

Replace printf error messages with fprintf(stderr, ...) in order
to ensure consistency and to make faults easier to identify.
This patch uses coccinelle to detect and apply the changes.

Hi Cristina,
I just had a look at the series. You have all cases I regard necessary
covered. There are however a few cases which probably qualify as error
messages, too. Please see inline.
However, for my personal taste, this could have been merged all in a
single patch. Especially the third patch should have been included in
this one (as during review, people certainly think that you missed the
second line, just to find it fixed two patches later).

My preference would even be to print it all in just one fprintf.

At line 410 we have a block:
		read_size = read(fp, data, toread * scan_size);
		if (read_size < 0) {
			if (errno == EAGAIN) {
				printf("nothing available\n");
				continue;

I'm tempted to say,that this should go to stderr, as well. Any opinions?

At line 217:
	if (!event_is_known(event)) {
		printf("Unknown event: time: %lld, id: %llx\n",
		       event->timestamp, event->id);

		return;
Better have this on stderr, as well?

A similar borderline case as above in line 301:

		if (ret == -1) {
			if (errno == EAGAIN) {

Hi,

Yes, I could have included all in a single patch, but I tried to
automatize this task and build a rather generic semantic patch in
coccinelle for the substitutions. Had I included all in one patch, the
changes with coccinelle wouldn't have been differentiated from the
other ones. If that is okay, I think I can merge them in one patch.

I thought so, also, but the string would go beyond 80 characters and
would have to be split which is ugly and brings a warning on it.

I see it more as an informing note, since the device continues looping
for data, but it could be considered an error as well.

This is more suitable for stderr, indeed.

If it seems important, then you can say in the commit message what was done
by hand.

Point taken for making it reproducible. I just like to raise awareness:
The maintainers are very busy. They have a full time job, respond to the
mailing list, review patches and do all the git magic. That keeps them
pretty busy, so I would aim to make the maintainers life as easy as possible.
Checking just one patch against some sources can be quicker/easier than
checking multiple ones. Same goes for applying patches.
Other than that, I just feel strong about the third patch standing separate,
which I don't regard a good idea. Either your script should have been
extended to catch such cases, or if it is not worth the effort, it should
have been changed by hand. But it should have gone in one pass.

I just gave it a try compile testing:
		fprintf(stderr, "Problem reading scan element information\n"
			"diag %s\n", dev_dir_name);

Compiled just fine, and the same format is used in your second patch as well.

I thought about the case when stdout gets piped to a data file while stderr
goes into a logfile (or an application reads one data stream while checking
the error stream).

Always a balance needing to be struck here.  I always slightly prefer too many patches to too few.

Here however the breaking up doesn't really help with clarity.  I don't feel
 strongly about it though! (Particularly as I can rely on Hartmut's review here to
 cover what was missed and only quickly double check validity of what changed.,)
