I'd rather know _why_ something failed rather than having to dig through the code to figure out which layer and why. Not every user is a UNIX programmer with intimate knowledge of the targets, interfaces, and general protocols.That's what the LOG_ERROR()'s are for. They tell you where and why. retval's are not propagated consistently or relyably in OpenOCD (or any other C program I've seen really). We could switch to a language with exceptions(C++), but we've had that discussion and there isn't a strong incentive to do so with OpenOCD now that we've got exceptions and resource tracking for menial stuff in Tcl. -- Øyvind Harboe PayBack incident management system Reduce costs and increase quality, free Starter Edition http://www.payback.no/index_en.html
