/*
 * Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
 *
 * = Rules =
 *
 * - Functions that use Error to report errors have an Error **errp
 *   parameter.  It should be the last parameter, except for functions
 *   taking variable arguments.
 *
 * - You may pass NULL to not receive the error, &error_abort to abort
 *   on error, &error_fatal to exit(1) on error, or a pointer to a
 *   variable containing NULL to receive the error.
 *
 * - Separation of concerns: the function is responsible for detecting
 *   errors and failing cleanly; handling the error is its caller's
 *   job.  Since the value of @errp is about handling the error, the
 *   function should not examine it.
 *
 * - The function may pass @errp to functions it calls to pass on
 *   their errors to its caller.  If it dereferences @errp to check
 *   for errors, it must use ERRP_GUARD().
 *
 * - On success, the function should not touch *errp.  On failure, it
 *   should set a new error, e.g. with error_setg(errp, ...), or
 *   propagate an existing one, e.g. with error_propagate(errp, ...).
 *
 * - Whenever practical, also return a value that indicates success /
 *   failure.  This can make the error checking more concise, and can
 *   avoid useless error object creation and destruction.  Note that
 *   we still have many functions returning void.  We recommend
 *   • bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,
 *   • pointer-valued functions return non-null / null pointer, and
 *   • integer-valued functions return non-negative / negative.
 *
 * = Creating errors =
 *
 * Create an error:
 *     error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
 * where @errp points to the location to receive the error.
 *
 * Create an error and add additional explanation:
 *     error_setg(errp, "invalid quark");
 *     error_append_hint(errp, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
 *                       "charm, top, bottom.\n");
 * This may require use of ERRP_GUARD(); more on that below.
 *
 * Do *not* contract this to
 *     error_setg(errp, "invalid quark\n" // WRONG!
 *                "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.");
 *
 * = Reporting and destroying errors =
 *
 * Report an error to the current monitor if we have one, else stderr:
 *     error_report_err(err);
 * This frees the error object.
 *
 * Likewise, but with additional text prepended:
 *     error_reportf_err(err, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
 *
 * Report an error somewhere else:
 *     const char *msg = error_get_pretty(err);
 *     do with msg what needs to be done...
 *     error_free(err);
 * Note that this loses hints added with error_append_hint().
 *
 * Call a function ignoring errors:
 *     foo(arg, NULL);
 * This is more concise than
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     error_free(err); // don't do this
 *
 * Call a function aborting on errors:
 *     foo(arg, &error_abort);
 * This is more concise and fails more nicely than
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     assert(!err); // don't do this
 *
 * Call a function treating errors as fatal:
 *     foo(arg, &error_fatal);
 * This is more concise than
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     if (err) { // don't do this
 *         error_report_err(err);
 *         exit(1);
 *     }
 *
 * Handle an error without reporting it (just for completeness):
 *     error_free(err);
 *
 * Assert that an expected error occurred, but clean it up without
 * reporting it (primarily useful in testsuites):
 *     error_free_or_abort(&err);
 *
 * = Passing errors around =
 *
 * Errors get passed to the caller through the conventional @errp
 * parameter.
 *
 * Create a new error and pass it to the caller:
 *     error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
 *
 * Call a function, receive an error from it, and pass it to the caller
 * - when the function returns a value that indicates failure, say
 *   false:
 *     if (!foo(arg, errp)) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * - when it does not, say because it is a void function:
 *     ERRP_GUARD();
 *     foo(arg, errp);
 *     if (*errp) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * More on ERRP_GUARD() below.
 *
 * Code predating ERRP_GUARD() still exists, and looks like this:
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *         error_propagate(errp, err); // deprecated
 *     }
 * Avoid in new code.  Do *not* "optimize" it to
 *     foo(arg, errp);
 *     if (*errp) { // WRONG!
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * because errp may be NULL without the ERRP_GUARD() guard.
 *
 * But when all you do with the error is pass it on, please use
 *     foo(arg, errp);
 * for readability.
 *
 * Receive an error, and handle it locally
 * - when the function returns a value that indicates failure, say
 *   false:
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     if (!foo(arg, &err)) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * - when it does not, say because it is a void function:
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 *
 * Pass an existing error to the caller:
 *     error_propagate(errp, err);
 * This is rarely needed.  When @err is a local variable, use of
 * ERRP_GUARD() commonly results in more readable code.
 *
 * Pass an existing error to the caller with the message modified:
 *     error_propagate_prepend(errp, err,
 *                             "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
 * This is more concise than
 *     error_propagate(errp, err); // don't do this
 *     error_prepend(errp, "Could not frobnicate '%s': ", name);
 * and works even when @errp is &error_fatal.
 *
 * Receive and accumulate multiple errors (first one wins):
 *     Error *err = NULL, *local_err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     bar(arg, &local_err);
 *     error_propagate(&err, local_err);
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 *
 * Do *not* "optimize" this to
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     foo(arg, &err);
 *     bar(arg, &err); // WRONG!
 *     if (err) {
 *         handle the error...
 *     }
 * because this may pass a non-null err to bar().
 *
 * Likewise, do *not*
 *     Error *err = NULL;
 *     if (cond1) {
 *         error_setg(&err, ...);
 *     }
 *     if (cond2) {
 *         error_setg(&err, ...); // WRONG!
 *     }
 * because this may pass a non-null err to error_setg().
 *
 * = Why, when and how to use ERRP_GUARD() =
 *
 * Without ERRP_GUARD(), use of the @errp parameter is restricted:
 * - It must not be dereferenced, because it may be null.
 * - It should not be passed to error_prepend() or
 *   error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
 * ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
 *
 * To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
 * @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
 * NULL or &error_fatal.
 *
 * Using it when it's not needed is safe, but please avoid cluttering
 * the source with useless code.
 *
 * = Converting to ERRP_GUARD() =
 *
 * To convert a function to use ERRP_GUARD():
 *
 * 0. If the Error ** parameter is not named @errp, rename it to
 *    @errp.
 *
 * 1. Add an ERRP_GUARD() invocation, by convention right at the
 *    beginning of the function.  This makes @errp safe to use.
 *
 * 2. Replace &err by errp, and err by *errp.  Delete local variable
 *    @err.
 *
 * 3. Delete error_propagate(errp, *errp), replace
 *    error_propagate_prepend(errp, *errp, ...) by error_prepend(errp, ...)
 *
 * 4. Ensure @errp is valid at return: when you destroy *errp, set
 *    *errp = NULL.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *     bool fn(..., Error **errp)
 *     {
 *         Error *err = NULL;
 *
 *         foo(arg, &err);
 *         if (err) {
 *             handle the error...
 *             error_propagate(errp, err);
 *             return false;
 *         }
 *         ...
 *     }
 *
 * becomes
 *
 *     bool fn(..., Error **errp)
 *     {
 *         ERRP_GUARD();
 *
 *         foo(arg, errp);
 *         if (*errp) {
 *             handle the error...
 *             return false;
 *         }
 *         ...
 *     }
 *
 * For mass-conversion, use scripts/coccinelle/errp-guard.cocci.
