Completion of error handling

[posva]

I'm interested, how can printf fail?

[elfring]

I suggest to avoid ignorance of return values a bit more.
Would you like to detect every error situation as early as possible?

[posva]

well, not every error but only errors that can happen. Some errors just never happen and I don't want to complexify the code without getting any value from it

[elfring]

Are you interested to apply aspect-oriented software development?
How do you think about to encapsulate error detection and corresponding exception handling as a reusable aspect in your software?

[posva]

Maybe but I do not have the knowledge to do it 😕.
Did catimg failed when you used it ?

[elfring]

I would prefer that strict error detection will become less optional in useful software.
Is the importance of software robustness increasing for the affected image viewer?

[posva]

not really.
why do you sound as if you were trying to sell me something? It's very suspicious

[elfring]

I am just curious if you would like to make your software a bit safer.

[posva]

well, that could be great but I think this little piece of software doesn't need that much security

[elfring]

I find that every useful software should usually be prepared for exceptional run-time conditions.

How do you think about to improve static source code analysis also for your software?

Do you find information sources like the following useful?

• Article "A Reusable Aspect for Memory Allocation Checking"
• Document "Aspect-Oriented Software Development - An Introduction" by Johan Brichau and Theo D'Hondt
• Paper "On Typesafe Aspect Implementations in C++" by Daniel Lohmann and Olaf Spinczyk

[posva]

thanks for the resources! :)
catimg doesn't need those though

Also the way you write is really weird, it makes me feel very uncomfortable

[elfring]

Which communication ways would you prefer to achieve a better common understanding eventually?

[posva]

You don't sound/read human. (I don't mean to be mean)
