Bug #: 15044
Summary: eradicate cutesy errorish return texts
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tapsets
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: fche@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
Several tapset functions that return strings signal abnormal inputs or
conditions by returning values like "BAD VALUE", "<unknown>", "", "NULL",
"N/A", "UNKNOWN", "far far in the future...", and my personal favorite, "a
long, long time ago...".
It would be better if, for a future --compatible=VERSION level, these tapset
functions returned errors instead, getting the caller scripts to use the
try/catch construct to handle errors.
