In my review of v4 I wrote: Do you think this can be combined somehow ? Possibilities seem to include: explicit read_recent_{init,entry,finish} functions; a single function with a "per-entry" callback; same but with a macro. If you do that you can also have it have handle the "file does not exist" special case. You've provided the read_recent_entry function but the "init" function libxl__open_domid_history does too little. This series seems to be moving towards what I called read_recent_{init,entry,finish} (which should probably have the timestamp and FILE* in a struct together) but it seems to be doing so quite slowly. In your factored out functions you generally do this: int some_function(){ r = do_the_thing(); if (r == 0) return 0; LOGE(....) return ERROR_FAIL; } This structure is not ideal because: - It makes it hard to extend this function to do more, later. For example, refactoring the clock_gettime call into what is now libxl__open_domid_history would involve reorganising the function. - It encourages vacuous log messages whose content is mainly in the function and line number framing: + LOGE(ERROR, "failed"); + return ERROR_FAIL; +} rather than if (!*f) { LOGE(ERROR, "failed to open recent domid file `%s'", path); rc = ERROR_FAIL; goto out; } (and the latter is to be preferred). - It is nonstandard.

Sorry that some of the other code which you are having to edit here sets a bad example. (See the apology at the top of CODING_STYLE.)

On the other hand if you think it is clearer, I have no objection. I think the actual behaviour is correct now but I would like to read it again when it is in the conventional style. Thanks Ian.

But by asking me to put the error handling inside the sub-functions I lost context such as 'path' which was present in the previous structure. I could pass in an argument purely for the benefit of a log function but that seems excessive. I guess I will pull the error logging out again, but that seemed to be against your requirement to de-duplicate code. > > - It is nonstandard.

I could pass in an argument purely for the benefit of a log function but that seems excessive. I guess I will pull the error logging out again, but that seemed to be against your requirement to de-duplicate code. I think the path needs to be passed into these functions. This is why I think the functions need to take a struct* as an argument, for their shared state (including the path and the other stuff). Thanks, Ian.

My bottom line on this aspect of code structure is that I want each thing to be written only once. Thanks, Ian.

A domid is considered recent if the domain it represents was destroyed less than a specified number of seconds ago. For debugging and/or testing purposes the number can be set using the environment variable LIBXL_DOMID_REUSE_TIMEOUT. If the variable does not exist then a default value of 60s is used. Whenever a domain is destroyed, a time-stamped record will be written into a history file (/var/run/xen/domid-history). To avoid the history file growing too large, any records with time-stamps that indicate that the age of a domid has exceeded the re-use timeout will also be purged. A new utility function, libxl__is_recent_domid(), has been added. This function reads the same history file checking whether a specified domid has a record that does not exceed the re-use timeout. Since this utility function does not write to the file, no records are actually purged by it. NOTE: The history file is purged on boot to it is safe to use CLOCK_MONOTONIC as a time source.
