When we pass a invalid cpulist or the lastcpu in the cpulist exceed the maxcpu, we cannot get any error. like this: # virsh vcpupin test3 1 aaa # virsh vcpupin test3 1 1000 Because virBitmapParse() use virReportError() to set the error message, vshCommandRun would output the error in vshReportError, but in the meantime it is overwriten by the virResetLastError in virDomainFree. If we want use the error which set by virReportError(), we need vshSaveLibvirtError to help us. However the error from virBitmap is not clearly enough, i chose use vshError to output error when parse failed.
