            Bug ID: 19608
           Summary: Need basic semantic checks for suppression files
           Product: libabigail
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: default
          Assignee: dodji at redhat dot com
          Reporter: michi.henning at canonical dot com
                CC: libabigail at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

I erroneously concluded that the entire --suppression option was broken due=
 to
the lack of feedback about things like parsing errors and the like in the
suppression file.

I'd strongly suggest to add basic sanity checks. For starters, I'd show any
errors from the ini parser. It would also be good to check for invalid group
and key names. Otherwise, one single typo is enough to potentially send me
scratching my head for hours.
