[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] trace: include filename when printing parser error messages

[Daniel P . Berrangé]

Improves error messages from:

  ValueError: Error on line 72: need more than 1 value to unpack

To

  ValueError: Error at /home/berrange/src/virt/qemu/trace-events:72:
    need more than 1 value to unpack
