XML: Improve XML parsing error messages
This patch modifies error handling function for the XML parser provided
by libxml2.
Originaly only a line number and error message were logged. With this
new error handler function, the user is provided with a more complex
description of the parsing error.
Context of the error is printed in libXML2 style and filename of the
file, that caused the error is printed. Example of an parse error:
13:41:36.262: 16032: error : catchXMLError:706 :
/etc/libvirt/qemu/rh_bad.xml:58: Opening and ending tag mismatch: name
line 2 and domain
</domain>
---------^
Context of the error gives the user hints that may help to quickly
locate a corrupt xml file.
Verified this issue with: libvirt-client-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.9.9-1.el6.x86_64 1.# virsh edit 2 error: (domain_definition):5: StartTag: invalid element name <currentMemory>2048576<</currentMemory> -------------------------^ 2.libvirtd.log 2012-01-10 03:07:45.056+0000: 1812: error : catchXMLError:711 : (domain_definition):5: StartTag: invalid element name <currentMemory>2048576<</currentMemory> -------------------------^ So change the status to VERIFIED.
