Commit e1ce0c3cb(vl.c: fix regression when reading machine type from config file) fixed the error message when the machine type was supplied inside the config file. However now the option name is not displayed correctly if the error happens when the machine is specified at command line.
Running ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 -M q35-1.5 -redir tcp:8022::22 will result in the error message: qemu-system-x86_64: -redir tcp:8022::22: unsupported machine type Use -machine help to list supported machines Fixed it by restoring the error location and also extracted the code dealing with machine options into a separate function.

Tsirkin <m...@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Laszlo Ersek <ler...@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Marcel Apfelbaum <mar...@redhat.com> --- v3 -> v4: - removed double call of loc_push_none (thanks again Laszlo) v2 -> v3: - fixed commit message and called qemu_get_machine_opts only once. (thanks Laszlo) v1 -> v2: - Addressed Laszlo Ersek's comments: - no need to save the machine options location, is saved in opts - rename the extracted method to set_machine_options - added the bug reporter to the CC - tested with and without the config file and the error message is now OK: config file: - qemu-system-x86_64:machine-bug.conf:3: unsupported machine type cli: - qemu-system-x86_64: -M q35-1.5: unsupported machine type Thanks, Marcel vl.c | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 27 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/vl.c b/vl.c index 2c03f54..5e22a35 100644 --- a/vl.c +++ b/vl.c @@ -2748,6 +2748,31 @@ static const QEMUOption *lookup_opt(int argc, char **argv, return popt; } +static void set_machine_options(MachineClass **machine_class) +{ + const char *optarg; + QemuOpts *opts; + Location loc; + + loc_push_none(&loc); + + opts = qemu_get_machine_opts(); + qemu_opts_loc_restore(opts); + + optarg = qemu_opt_get(opts, "type"); + if (optarg) { + *machine_class = machine_parse(optarg); + } + + if (*machine_class == NULL) { + error_report("No machine specified, and there is no default"); + error_printf("Use -machine help to list supported machines\n"); + exit(1); + } + + loc_pop(&loc); +} + static int machine_set_property(void *opaque, const char *name, const char *value, Error **errp) @@ -4028,17 +4053,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp) replay_configure(icount_opts); - opts = qemu_get_machine_opts(); - optarg = qemu_opt_get(opts, "type"); - if (optarg) { - machine_class = machine_parse(optarg); - } - - if (machine_class == NULL) { - error_report("No machine specified, and there is no default"); - error_printf("Use -machine help to list supported machines\n"); - exit(1); - } + set_machine_options(&machine_class); set_memory_options(&ram_slots, &maxram_size, machine_class); -- 2.4.3
