Global Erorr Class - Global error mechanism
This class has a single global instance. When a function needs to
generate an error condition, such as a read error, it calls a member
in this class to add the error to a stack of errors.
By using a stack the problem with a scheme like errno is removed and
it allows a very detailed account of what went wrong to be transmitted
to the UI for display. (Errno has problems because each function sets
errno to 0 if it didn't have an error thus eraseing erno in the process
of cleanup)
Several predefined error generators are provided to handle common
things like errno. The general idea is that all methods return a bool.
If the bool is true then things are OK, if it is false then things
should start being undone and the stack should unwind under program
control.
A Warning should not force the return of false. Things did not fail, but
they might have had unexpected problems. Errors are stored in a FIFO
so Pop will return the first item..
I have some thoughts about extending this into a more general UI<->
Engine interface, ie allowing the Engine to say 'The disk is full' in
a dialog that says 'Panic' and 'Retry'.. The error generator functions
like errno, Warning and Error return false always so this is normal:
if (open(..))
return _error->Errno(..);
