Error Class Reference

#include "lib/error.hpp"

Description

Interface and Base definition for all Lumiera Exceptions.

Provides common operations for getting a diagnostic message and to obtain the root cause message, i.e. the message from the first exception encountered in a chain of exceptions.

std::exception interface : yield a diagnostic message

Description of the problem, including the internal char constant in accordance to Lumiera's error identification scheme.

If a root cause can be obtained, this will be included in the generated output as well.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

rootCause()

string const& rootCause ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

If this exception was caused by a chain of further exceptions, return the description of the first one registered in this throw sequence.

This works only if every exceptions thrown as a consequence of another exception is properly constructed by passing the original exception to the constructor

Returns

the description string, maybe empty (if there is no known root cause)

Here is the caller graph for this function:

setUsermsg()

Error& setUsermsg ( string const &  newMsg )

inlinenoexcept

replace the previous or default friendly message for the user.

Note

to be localised / translated.

Definition at line 131 of file error.hpp.

prependInfo()

Error& prependInfo ( string const &  text )

inlinenoexcept

give additional developer info.

Typically used at intermediate handlers to add context.
