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 static i_failed_cb failed_cb;
71 static int failures_fatal;
74 =item i_set_argv0(char const *program)
76 Sets the name of the program to be displayed in fatal error messages.
78 The simplest way to use this is just:
82 when your program starts.
84 void i_set_argv0(char const *name) {
88 /* if the user has an existing string of MAXINT length then
89 the system is broken anyway */
90 dupl = mymalloc(strlen(name)+1); /* check 17jul05 tonyc */
98 =item i_set_failure_fatal(int failure_fatal)
100 If failure_fatal is non-zero then any future failures will result in
101 Imager exiting your program with a message describing the failure.
103 Returns the previous setting.
107 int i_set_failures_fatal(int fatal) {
108 int old = failures_fatal;
109 failures_fatal = fatal;
115 =item i_set_error_cb(i_error_cb)
117 Sets a callback function that is called each time an error is pushed
118 onto the error stack.
120 Returns the previous callback.
122 i_set_failed_cb() is probably more useful.
126 i_error_cb i_set_error_cb(i_error_cb cb) {
127 i_error_cb old = error_cb;
134 =item i_set_failed_cb(i_failed_cb cb)
136 Sets a callback function that is called each time an Imager function
139 Returns the previous callback.
143 i_failed_cb i_set_failed_cb(i_failed_cb cb) {
144 i_failed_cb old = failed_cb;
155 Returns a pointer to the first element of an array of error messages,
156 terminated by a NULL pointer. The highest level message is first.
160 i_errmsg *im_errors(im_context_t ctx) {
161 return ctx->error_stack + ctx->error_sp;
164 i_errmsg *i_errors(void) {

173 These functions are called by Imager to report errors through the
176 It may be desirable to have functions to mark the stack and reset to
181 =item i_clear_error()
182 =synopsis i_clear_error();
183 =category Error handling
185 Clears the error stack.
187 Called by any Imager function before doing any other processing.

211 =synopsis i_push_error(errno, "Error writing");
212 =category Error handling
214 Called by an Imager function to push an error message onto the stack.
216 No message is pushed if the stack is full (since this means someone
217 forgot to call i_clear_error(), or that a function that doesn't do
218 error handling is calling function that does.).

257 =category Error handling
259 Intended for use by higher level functions, takes a varargs pointer
260 and a format to produce the finally pushed error message.
262 Does not support perl specific format codes.

293 A version of i_push_error() that does printf() like formatting.

319 =item i_failed(char const *msg)
321 Called by Imager code to indicate that a top-level has failed.
323 msg can be NULL, in which case no error is pushed.
325 Calls the current failed callback, if any.
327 Aborts the program with an error, if failures have been set to be fatal.
329 Returns zero if it does not abort.

371 full[strlen(full)-2] = '\0';
372 i_fatal(EXIT_FAILURE, "%s", full);
381 =item im_assert_fail(file, line, message)
383 Called when an im_assert() assertion fails.
389 im_assert_fail(char const *file, int line, char const *message) {
390 fprintf(stderr, "Assertion failed line %d file %s: %s\n",
391 line, file, message);
