I think your intent here is just to misuse the field_exist function pointer as a call for a different reason as a hook for a validator; is it really worth misusing it like that or is something more explicit worth it? Perhaps something passed an Error** so it could pass back what was wrong? > } > ret = vmstate_subsection_load(f, vmsd, opaque); > if (ret != 0) { > @@ -148,6 +151,11 @@ void vmstate_save_state(QEMUFile *f, const > VMStateDescription *vmsd, > field->info->put(f, addr, size); > } > } > + } else { > + if (field->flags & VMS_MUST_EXIST) { > + fprintf(stderr, "Input validation failed: %s/%s\n", > vmsd->name, field->name); > + assert(!(field->flags & VMS_MUST_EXIST)); Wrong message for the save side.
