What's the latest news on error reporting within the libs?
The GNU docs recommend something like
fprintf(stderr, __FILE__ ": %d: something went wrong: %s\n", __LINE__, cause);
So for example, this bit from pdf-stm-f-a85.c:
if (count != 0)
{
/* Error: z inside ascii85 5-tuple */
error;
}
can be changed to something like:
if (count != 0)
{
/* Error: z inside ascii85 5-tuple */
fprintf(stderr, __FILE__ ": %d: 'z' inside ascii85 5-tuple\n", __LINE__-3);
error;
}
If you could indicate the position within the FILE (not within the
stream), that may be useful for debugging the read/write routines
later on because you can use a hex editor to inspect the file.
