Detailed Description

This class to capture error information from library function calls.

See Error Handling for a general overview of how error handling works in this library.

Member Function Documentation

code()

ErrorCode code ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Returns the error code.

Returns

The error code of the operation that filled this error object.

Default()

Error & Default ( )

inlinestatic

The default error handler.

The err parameter of all library functions is set to Default() by default.

If a function that got Default() passed as its err parameter, the behavior is as follows:

• If the library was initialized by passing ErrorHandlerBehavior::Throw to initLibrary, a IC4Exception is thrown.
• If the library was initialized with ErrorHandlerBehavior::Ignore, the error is ignored

Returns

An error handler following the default procedure described above.

Ignore()

Error & Ignore ( )

inlinestatic

An error handler that ignores all errors.

If an error occurs during a function call its argument set to Ignore(), errors are ignored.

The return value of the function can still signal a possible error condition.

Returns

An error handler that ignores all errors.

isError()

bool isError ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Checks whether this object is in an error state.

Returns

true, if this error's code is not equal to ErrorCode::NoError, otherwise false.

isSuccess

isSuccess()

bool isSuccess ( ) const

inlinenoexcept

Checks whether this object is in a success state.

Returns

true, if this error's code is equal to ErrorCode::NoError, otherwise false.

isError

message()

std::string message ( ) const

inline

Returns the error message.

Returns

The error message generated by the failed operation that filled this error object.
If no error occurred, an empty string is returned.

operator bool()

operator bool ( ) const

inlineexplicitnoexcept

Checks whether this object is in an error state.

Returns

true, if this error's code is not equal to ErrorCode::NoError, otherwise false.

isError

isSuccess

Throw()

Error & Throw ( )

inlinestatic

An error handler that throws all errors.

If an error occurs during a function call with its err argument set to Throw(), IC4Exception is thrown.

Returns

An error handler that throws all errors as a IC4Exception.
