40 This module provides the C level error handling functionality for
43 A few functions return or pass in an i_errmsg *, this is list of error
44 structures, terminated by an entry with a NULL msg value, each of
45 which contains a msg and an error code. Even though these aren't
46 passed as i_errmsg const * pointers, don't modify the strings
49 The interface as currently defined isn't thread safe, unfortunately.
51 This code uses Imager's mymalloc() for memory allocation, so out of
52 memory errors are I<always> fatal.
56 These functions form the interface that a user of Imager sees (from
57 C). The Perl level won't use all of this.
70 =synopsis i_errmsg *errors = im_errors(aIMCTX);
71 =synopsis i_errmsg *errors = i_errors();
73 Returns a pointer to the first element of an array of error messages,
74 terminated by a NULL pointer. The highest level message is first.
76 Also callable as C<i_errors()>.

81 return ctx->error_stack + ctx->error_sp;

98 =synopsis i_clear_error();
99 =category Error handling
101 Clears the error stack.
103 Called by any Imager function before doing any other processing.
109 im_clear_error(im_context_t ctx) {

127 =synopsis i_push_error(errno, "Error writing");
128 =category Error handling
130 Called by an Imager function to push an error message onto the stack.
132 No message is pushed if the stack is full (since this means someone
133 forgot to call i_clear_error(), or that a function that doesn't do
134 error handling is calling function that does.).

162 =item i_push_errorvf(int C<code>, char const *C<fmt>, va_list C<ap>)
164 =category Error handling
166 Intended for use by higher level functions, takes a varargs pointer
167 and a format to produce the finally pushed error message.
169 Does not support perl specific format codes.

183 detection (like perl's Configure, or autoconf)

198 =category Error handling
200 A version of i_push_error() that does printf() like formatting.
202 Does not support perl specific format codes.

222 #ifdef IMAGER_I_FAILED
223 #error "This isn't used and is untested"
226 =item i_failed(char const *msg)
228 Called by Imager code to indicate that a top-level has failed.
230 msg can be NULL, in which case no error is pushed.
232 Calls the current failed callback, if any.
234 Aborts the program with an error, if failures have been set to be fatal.
236 Returns zero if it does not abort.
240 int i_failed(int code, char const *msg) {

277 /* lose the extra ": " */
278 full[strlen(full)-2] = '\0';
279 i_fatal(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s", full);
288 =item im_assert_fail(file, line, message)
290 Called when an im_assert() assertion fails.
296 im_assert_fail(char const *file, int line, char const *message) {
297 fprintf(stderr, "Assertion failed line %d file %s: %s\n",
298 line, file, message);
