Re: Question -- why is there no errhint_internal function?

(I added Andres to this thread)

Hi Andres,

I saw that a new errhint_internal() function was recently committed
[1]. I had also posted above asking about this same missing function a
month ago [2].

But, your patch only added the new function -- it does not make any
use of it for existing code that was using the errhint("%s", str)
method.

I wondered, given your commit message "but that's not exactly pretty
and makes it harder to avoid memory leaks", if you think it is
worthwhile to revisit those existing "%s" usages and modify them to
use the new errhint_internal? Tom above [3] seemed not keen to modify
those without performance reasons, although at that time
errhint_internal didn't even exist.
