These appear to be unused apart from the Coccinelle script in PATCH 03.

They are used in the full "[RFC v5 000/126] error: auto propagated
local_err" series.  Options:

1. Pick a few more patches into this part I series, so these guys come
     with users.

It needs some additional effort for this series.. But it's possible. Still,
I think that we at least should not pull out patches which should be in
future series (for example from ppc or block/)..

Yes, we want to keep related stuff together.

Grepping through v5:
  for x in {warn_report_errp,error_report_errp,error_free_errp}; do echo == $x 
==; git grep -l $x | grep -v coccinelle | grep -v 'error\.h'; echo; done
== warn_report_errp ==
block/file-posix.c
hw/ppc/spapr.c
hw/ppc/spapr_caps.c
hw/ppc/spapr_irq.c
hw/vfio/pci.c
net/tap.c
qom/object.c

== error_report_errp ==
hw/block/vhost-user-blk.c
util/oslib-posix.c

== error_free_errp ==
block.c
block/qapi.c
block/sheepdog.c
block/snapshot.c
blockdev.c
chardev/char-socket.c
hw/audio/intel-hda.c
hw/core/qdev-properties.c
hw/pci-bridge/pci_bridge_dev.c
hw/pci-bridge/pcie_pci_bridge.c

What do you want to add?

PATCH v5 032 uses both error_report_errp() and error_free_errp().
Adding warn_report_errp() without a user is okay with me.  What do you
think?

If there are patches you consider related to 032, feel free to throw
them in.

032 is qga/commands-win32.c and util/oslib-posix.c

Seems that they are wrongly grouped into one patch.

qga/commands-win32.c matches qga/ (Michael Roth)
and  util/oslib-posix.c matches POSIX (Paolo Bonzini)

So, it should be two separate patches anyway.

For [1.] I only afraid that we'll have to wait for maintainers, who were
not interested in previous iterations, to review these new patches..



2. Punt this patch to the first part that has users, along with the
     part of the Coccinelle script that deals with them.

But coccinelle script would be wrong, if we drop this part from it. I think,
that after commit which adds coccinelle script, it should work with any file,
not only subset of these series.

So, it's probably OK for now to drop these functions, forcing their addition if
coccinelle script will be applied where these functions are needed. We can, for
example comment these three functions.

Splitting coccinelle script into two parts, which will be in different series 
will
not help any patch-porting processes.

Moreover, this will create dependencies between future series updating other 
files.

So, I don't like [2.]..

And it's likely more work than 1.

3. Do nothing: accept the functions without users.

OK for me)


I habitually dislike 3., but reviewing the rest of this series might
make me override that dislike.
