[PULL 2/3] system/vl.c: Print machine name, not "(null)", for unknown ma


From: Michael Tokarev
Subject: [PULL 2/3] system/vl.c: Print machine name, not "(null)", for unknown machine types
Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2024 17:15:41 +0300

From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

In commit 412d294ffdc we tried to improve the error message printed when
the machine type is unknown, but we used the wrong variable, resulting in:

$ ./build/x86/qemu-system-aarch64 -M bang
qemu-system-aarch64: unsupported machine type: "(null)"
Use -machine help to list supported machines

Use the right variable, so we produce more helpful output:

$ ./build/x86/qemu-system-aarch64 -M bang
qemu-system-aarch64: unsupported machine type: "bang"
Use -machine help to list supported machines

Note that we must move the qdict_del() to below the error_setg(),
because machine_type points into the value of that qdict entry,
and deleting it will make the pointer invalid.

message")
