/*
* Error reporting system loosely patterned after Glib's GError.
*
+ * = Rules =
+ *
+ * - Functions that use Error to report errors have an Error **errp
+ * parameter. It should be the last parameter, except for functions
+ * taking variable arguments.
+ *
+ * - You may pass NULL to not receive the error, &error_abort to abort
+ * on error, &error_fatal to exit(1) on error, or a pointer to a
+ * variable containing NULL to receive the error.
+ *
+ * - Separation of concerns: the function is responsible for detecting
+ * errors and failing cleanly; handling the error is its caller's
+ * job. Since the value of @errp is about handling the error, the
+ * function should not examine it.
+ *
+ * - The function may pass @errp to functions it calls to pass on
+ * their errors to its caller. If it dereferences @errp to check
+ * for errors, it must use ERRP_GUARD().
+ *
+ * - On success, the function should not touch *errp. On failure, it
+ * should set a new error, e.g. with error_setg(errp, ...), or
+ * propagate an existing one, e.g. with error_propagate(errp, ...).
+ *
+ * - Whenever practical, also return a value that indicates success /
+ * failure. This can make the error checking more concise, and can
+ * avoid useless error object creation and destruction. Note that
+ * we still have many functions returning void. We recommend
+ * • bool-valued functions return true on success / false on failure,
+ * • pointer-valued functions return non-null / null pointer, and
+ * • integer-valued functions return non-negative / negative.
+ *
+ * = Creating errors =
+ *
* Create an error:
- * error_setg(&err, "situation normal, all fouled up");
+ * error_setg(errp, "situation normal, all fouled up");
+ * where @errp points to the location to receive the error.
*
* Create an error and add additional explanation:
- * error_setg(&err, "invalid quark");
- * error_append_hint(&err, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
+ * error_setg(errp, "invalid quark");
+ * error_append_hint(errp, "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, "
* "charm, top, bottom.\n");
+ * This may require use of ERRP_GUARD(); more on that below.
*
* Do *not* contract this to
- * error_setg(&err, "invalid quark\n"
+ * error_setg(errp, "invalid quark\n" // WRONG!
* "Valid quarks are up, down, strange, charm, top, bottom.");

+ * - It should not be passed to error_prepend() or
+ * error_append_hint(), because that doesn't work with &error_fatal.
+ * ERRP_GUARD() lifts these restrictions.
+ *
+ * To use ERRP_GUARD(), add it right at the beginning of the function.
+ * @errp can then be used without worrying about the argument being
+ * NULL or &error_fatal.
+ *
+ * Using it when it's not needed is safe, but please avoid cluttering
+ * the source with useless code.
+ *
+ * = Converting to ERRP_GUARD() =
+ *
+ * To convert a function to use ERRP_GUARD():
+ *
+ * 0. If the Error ** parameter is not named @errp, rename it to
+ * @errp.
+ *
+ * 1. Add an ERRP_GUARD() invocation, by convention right at the
+ * beginning of the function. This makes @errp safe to use.
+ *
+ * 2. Replace &err by errp, and err by *errp. Delete local variable
+ * @err.
+ *
+ * 3. Delete error_propagate(errp, *errp), replace
+ * error_propagate_prepend(errp, *errp, ...) by error_prepend(errp, ...)
+ *
+ * 4. Ensure @errp is valid at return: when you destroy *errp, set
+ * errp = NULL.
+ *
+ * Example:
+ *
+ * bool fn(..., Error **errp)
+ * {
+ * Error *err = NULL;
+ *
+ * foo(arg, &err);
+ * if (err) {
+ * handle the error...
+ * error_propagate(errp, err);
+ * return false;
+ * }
+ * ...
+ * }
+ *
+ * becomes
+ *
+ * bool fn(..., Error **errp)
+ * {
+ * ERRP_GUARD();
+ *
+ * foo(arg, errp);
+ * if (*errp) {
+ * handle the error...
+ * return false;
+ * }
