Completion of error handling

[elfring]

I have looked at a few source files for your current software. I have noticed that some checks for return codes are missing.

Would you like to add more error handling for return values from functions like the following?

• strdup ⇒ extract_sockaddr
• fseek ⇒ file_contents

I would much prefer you added it and submitted a pull request.

Also, are you a bot?

I am not a robot! - I try to clarify approaches before something will be written in your favourite programming language.

Are you interested to apply aspect-oriented software development? How do you think about to encapsulate error detection and corresponding exception handling as a reusable aspect in your software?

Well, all bots I've talked to started with that.

I don't think I have a favourite.

Kind of. I was thinking more of a complete rewrite in C++/Python (large developer bases, OOP), modular and with asynchronous communication between modules. Doing what you propose warrants a major refactor anyway.

It is best to discuss this on sgminer-devel IMO. This bugtracker is ill-suited for philosophy.

He sounds a lot like a bot to me.

Bot or no bot, he is helpful isn't he ?

Would be more helpful if he submitted a merge request with the proposed changes.. :)
