//! Traits for working with Errors.

#![stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")]

// A note about crates and the facade:
//
// Originally, the `Error` trait was defined in libcore, and the impls
// were scattered about. However, coherence objected to this
// arrangement, because to create the blanket impls for `Box` required
// knowing that `&str: !Error`, and we have no means to deal with that
// sort of conflict just now. Therefore, for the time being, we have
// moved the `Error` trait into libstd. As we evolve a sol'n to the
// coherence challenge (e.g., specialization, neg impls, etc) we can
// reconsider what crate these items belong in.

/// `Error` is a trait representing the basic expectations for error values,
/// i.e., values of type `E` in [`Result<T, E>`].
///
/// Errors must describe themselves through the [`Display`] and [`Debug`]
/// traits. Error messages are typically concise lowercase sentences without
/// trailing punctuation:
///
/// ```
/// let err = "NaN".parse::<u32>().unwrap_err();
/// assert_eq!(err.to_string(), "invalid digit found in string");
/// ```
///
/// Errors may provide cause chain information. [`Error::source()`] is generally
/// used when errors cross "abstraction boundaries". If one module must report
/// an error that is caused by an error from a lower-level module, it can allow
/// accessing that error via [`Error::source()`]. This makes it possible for the
/// high-level module to provide its own errors while also revealing some of the
/// implementation for debugging via `source` chains.
