Re: [pdf-devel] what's happening with error reporting?

[jemarch]

Hi Cirilo.

   What's the latest news on error reporting within the libs?

We included some functions in `pdf-error.[ch]' that provide support
for tracing.

   The GNU docs recommend something like
   fprintf(stderr, __FILE__ ": %d: something went wrong: %s\n",
   __LINE__, cause);

We can output that data using the pdf-error.c functions.

   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.

That is a quite good idea.
