Description

I can't decide whether this is a bug in crushtool or a bug in my crushmap but whichever it is, the error message isn't helpful.

Attached is my human readable crushmap. When I compile this with crushtool, I get an error:

root@srv-an56n:~# crushtool -c /tmp/crush.txt -o /tmp/crush.new
/tmp/crush.txt:28 error: parse error at '# regions'

If I delete that comment line I get:

/tmp/crush.txt:27 error: parse error at ''

I'm certain I successfully compiled a very similar crushmap with 0.23.1

This is with 78a14622438addcd5c337c4924cce1f67d053ee9 from the rc branch.

I was able to get the crushmap.txt to work by deleting the word "domain" in the gb1 region.

We should definitely have some kind of better error message here. I'll take a quick look at whether Sprite has any obvious way of improving this. (Just letting the user know that the problem was with region gb1 would be a plus.)

Reposting the diff; hopefully clearer this time.

There is a more advanced error handling API for spirit described at:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_41_0/libs/spirit/classic/doc/error_handling.html

Using this, we could give the user more information about errors than just a line number.

Resolved-- the crushmap.txt was bad.

I created #628 for getting better error messages from crushtool.
