the code to disable copy&paste uses VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR when it's not able to parse the enum value, but the compression code uses VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, and the mouse code uses VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR :( The rest of domain_conf.c is not very consistent in what error is reported on unknown enum values :( I'd personnally go with either VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED or VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR as they are more specific than VIR_ERR_INTERNAL_ERROR. However, given that the rest of the code is inconsistent, this can stay this way for now, and be fixed up at a later time.
I already have to resubmit, and I personally like errors to be specific, so I will change to VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED, because it seems the most relevant.
Fwiw, I was thinking a bit more about this, and I'd tend to use VIR_ERR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED as meaning "libvirt knows about this enum value, but cannot handle it for some reason" vs VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR meaning "this document cannot be parsed because this enum value is invalid/unknown". So my preference here would go to VIR_ERR_XML_ERROR. Christophe
