#ifndef INCLUDED_ERRORS

/*

The overly-complex error system works as follows:

A source file (typically a .h) can declare errors as follows:

	ERROR_GROUP(ModuleName);
	ERROR_TYPE(ModuleName, FrobnificationFailed);
	ERROR_SUBGROUP(ModuleName, ComponentName);
	ERROR_TYPE(ModuleName_ComponentName, FileNotFound);

etc, to build up a hierarchy of error types.

Then you have to run the /build/errorlist/errorlist.pl script, to regenerate
the Errors.cpp file.

Then you can use the declared errors as an error code:

	PSRETURN foo() { return PSRETURN_ModuleName_FrobnificationFailed; }

	if (ret != PSRETURN_OK)
		... // something failed

	if (ret)
		... // something failed

	if (ret == PSRETURN_ModuleName_FrobnificationFailed)
		... // particular error

	if (ERROR_IS(ret, PSRETURN_ModuleName))
		... // matches any type PSRETURN_ModuleName_* (and PSRETURN_ModuleName_*_* etc)

And you can use it as an exception:

	void foo() { throw PSERROR_ModuleName_FrobnificationFailed(); }

	void bar() { throw PSERROR_ModuleName_FrobnificationFailed("More informative message"); }

	try {
		foo();
	} catch (PSERROR_ModuleName_FrobnificationFailed& e) {
		// catches that particular error type
	} catch (PSERROR_ModuleName& e) {
		// catches anything in the hierarchy
	} catch (PSERROR& e) {
		std::cout << e.what();
	}

plus a few extra things for converting between error codes and exceptions.
