/*
* 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.
