Re: [Freerdp-devel] version 1.0.2-rc1 / Debug & Error Output

[<ri...@ec...>]

Hi,

I had some discussion with Marc-Andre about logging and error handling about two month ago.

My main problem with way it is done in freerdp at the moment, is that a GUI user will never see an error message (because it goes to stdout, which you might see on Linux if you start from a terminal, but you will never see it on windows, because there is no stdout for GUI programms).

Freerdp just terminates silently if anything goes wrong. An average user will just throw freerdp away as a broken bit of software, also the reason might only be a typo on the command line, but freerdp doesn't tells about it...

So Marc-Andre wrote down a few words about the needs of a logging/debugging/error handling system and I wanted to create some draft for the API. Unfortunately I was tight up will other projects, but now I have made a first start and it can be found below Marc-Andre's words on the wiki at https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/wiki/Debug-System .

I like to ask anybody to give feedback. If we can agree on an API I will implement at least a basic version of it.

Regards

Gerald
