This is particularly useful when we abort in error_propagate(),
because there the stack backtrace doesn't lead to where the error was
created. Looks like this:
Unexpected error in parse_block_error_action() at .../qemu/blockdev.c:322:
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive if=none,werror=foo: 'foo' invalid write error action
Aborted (core dumped)
Note: to get this example output, I monkey-patched drive_new() to pass
&error_abort to blockdev_init().
To keep the error handling boiler plate from growing even more, all
error_setFOO() become macros expanding into error_setFOO_internal()
with additional __FILE__, __LINE__, __func__ arguments. Not exactly
pretty, but it works.
The macro trickery breaks down when you take the address of an
error_setFOO(). Fortunately, we do that in just one place: qemu-ga's
Windows VSS provider and requester DLL wants to call
error_setg_win32() through a function pointer "to avoid linking glib
to the DLL". Use error_setg_win32_internal() there. The use of the
function pointer is already wrapped in a macro, so the churn isn't
bad.
Code size increases by some 35KiB for me (0.7%). Tolerable. Could be
less if we passed relative rather than absolute source file names to
the compiler, or forwent reporting __func__.

requester.cpp uses this pattern to receive an error and pass it on to
the caller (err_is_set() macro peeled off for clarity):
... code that may set errset->errp ...
if (errset->errp && *errset->errp) {
... handle error ...
}
This breaks when errset->errp is null. As far as I can tell, it
currently isn't, so this is merely fragile, not actually broken.
The robust way to do this is to receive the error in a local variable,
then propagate it up, like this:
Error *err = NULL;
... code that may set err ...
if (err)
... handle error ...
error_propagate(errset->errp, err);
}

qga_vss_fsfreeze() casts error_set_win32() from
void (*)(Error **, int, ErrorClass, const char *, ...)
to
void (*)(void **, int, int, const char *, ...)
The result is later called. Since the two types are not compatible,
the call is undefined behavior. It works in practice anyway.
However, there's no real need for trickery here. Clean it up as
follows:
* Declare struct Error, and fix the first parameter.
* Switch to error_setg_win32(). This gets rid of the troublesome
ErrorClass parameter. Requires converting error_setg_win32() from
macro to function, but that's trivially easy, because this is the
only user of error_set_win32().

Support guest-fsfreeze-freeze and guest-fsfreeze-thaw commands for Windows
guests. When fsfreeze command is issued, it calls the VSS requester to
freeze filesystems and applications. On thaw command, it again tells the VSS
requester to thaw them.
This also adds calling of initialize functions for the VSS requester.
