16 * Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
19 * error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
21 * Report an error to stderr:
22 * error_report_err(err);
23 * This frees the error object.
25 * Report an error somewhere else:
26 * const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
27 * do with msg what needs to be done...
30 * Handle an error without reporting it (just for completeness):
33 * Assert that an expected error occurred, but clean it up without
34 * reporting it (primarily useful in testsuites):
35 * error_free_or_abort(&err);
37 * Pass an existing error to the caller:
38 * error_propagate(errp, err);
39 * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
41 * Create a new error and pass it to the caller:
42 * error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
44 * Call a function and receive an error from it:
51 * Call a function ignoring errors:
54 * Call a function aborting on errors:
55 * foo(arg, &error_abort);
57 * Call a function treating errors as fatal:
58 * foo(arg, &error_fatal);
60 * Receive an error and pass it on to the caller:
65 * error_propagate(errp, err);
67 * where Error **errp is a parameter, by convention the last one.
69 * Do *not* "optimize" this to
71 * if (*errp) { // WRONG!
74 * because errp may be NULL!
76 * But when all you do with the error is pass it on, please use
84 #include "qemu/compiler.h"
85 #include "qapi-types.h"
89 * Opaque error object.
