16 * Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
17 *
18 * Create an error:
19 * error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
20 *
f4d0064a
MA
21 * Create an error and add additional explanation:
22 * error_setg(&err, "invalid quark");
23 * error_append_hint(&err, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
24 * "charm, top, bottom.\n");
25 *
26 * Do *not* contract this to
27 * error_setg(&err, "invalid quark\n"
28 * "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.");
29 *
10303f04 30 * Report an error to the current monitor if we have one, else stderr:
edf6f3b3
MA
31 * error_report_err(err);
32 * This frees the error object.
33 *
10303f04 34 * Likewise, but with additional text prepended:
8277d2aa
MA
35 * error_reportf_err(err, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
36 *
edf6f3b3
MA
37 * Report an error somewhere else:
38 * const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
39 * do with msg what needs to be done...
40 * error_free(err);
f4d0064a 41 * Note that this loses hints added with error_append_hint().
edf6f3b3
MA
42 *
43 * Handle an error without reporting it (just for completeness):
44 * error_free(err);
45 *
a12a5a1a
EB
46 * Assert that an expected error occurred, but clean it up without
47 * reporting it (primarily useful in testsuites):
48 * error_free_or_abort(&err);
49 *
edf6f3b3
MA
50 * Pass an existing error to the caller:
51 * error_propagate(errp, err);
52 * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
53 *
8277d2aa
MA
54 * Pass an existing error to the caller with the message modified:
55 * error_propagate(errp, err);
56 * error_prepend(errp, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
57 *
edf6f3b3
MA
58 * Create a new error and pass it to the caller:
59 * error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
60 *
61 * Call a function and receive an error from it:
62 * Error *err = NULL;
63 * foo(arg, &err);
64 * if (err) {
65 * handle the error...
66 * }
67 *
68 * Call a function ignoring errors:
69 * foo(arg, NULL);
70 *
71 * Call a function aborting on errors:
72 * foo(arg, &error_abort);
73 *
a29a37b9
MA
74 * Call a function treating errors as fatal:
75 * foo(arg, &error_fatal);
76 *
edf6f3b3
MA
77 * Receive an error and pass it on to the caller:
78 * Error *err = NULL;
79 * foo(arg, &err);
80 * if (err) {
81 * handle the error...
82 * error_propagate(errp, err);
83 * }
84 * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
85 *
86 * Do *not* "optimize" this to
87 * foo(arg, errp);
88 * if (*errp) { // WRONG!
89 * handle the error...
90 * }
91 * because errp may be NULL!
92 *
93 * But when all you do with the error is pass it on, please use
94 * foo(arg, errp);
95 * for readability.
8d780f43
MA
96 *
97 * Receive and accumulate multiple errors (first one wins):
98 * Error *err = NULL, *local_err = NULL;
99 * foo(arg, &err);
100 * bar(arg, &local_err);
101 * error_propagate(&err, local_err);
102 * if (err) {
103 * handle the error...
104 * }
105 *
106 * Do *not* "optimize" this to
107 * foo(arg, &err);
108 * bar(arg, &err); // WRONG!
109 * if (err) {
110 * handle the error...
111 * }
112 * because this may pass a non-null err to bar().
