+ * SECTION:error_reporting
+ * @Title: Error Reporting
+ * @Short_description: a system for reporting errors
+ *
+ * GLib provides a standard method of reporting errors from a called
+ * function to the calling code. (This is the same problem solved by
+ * exceptions in other languages.) It's important to understand that
+ * this method is both a data type (the #GError struct) and a set of
+ * rules. If you use #GError incorrectly, then your code will not
+ * properly interoperate with other code that uses #GError, and users
+ * of your API will probably get confused.
+ *
+ * First and foremost: #GError should only be used to report recoverable
+ * runtime errors, never to report programming errors. If the programmer
+ * has screwed up, then you should use g_warning(), g_return_if_fail(),
+ * g_assert(), g_error(), or some similar facility. (Incidentally,
+ * remember that the g_error() function should only be used for
+ * programming errors, it should not be used to print any error
+ * reportable via #GError.)
+ *
+ * Examples of recoverable runtime errors are "file not found" or
+ * "failed to parse input." Examples of programming errors are "NULL
+ * passed to strcmp()" or "attempted to free the same pointer twice."
+ * These two kinds of errors are fundamentally different: runtime errors
+ * should be handled or reported to the user, programming errors should
+ * be eliminated by fixing the bug in the program. This is why most
+ * functions in GLib and GTK+ do not use the #GError facility.
+ *
+ * Functions that can fail take a return location for a #GError as their
+ * last argument. For example:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gboolean g_file_get_contents (const gchar *filename,
+ * gchar **contents,
+ * gsize *length,
+ * GError **error);
+ * ]|
+ * If you pass a non-%NULL value for the `error` argument, it should
+ * point to a location where an error can be placed. For example:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gchar *contents;
+ * GError *err = NULL;
+ *
+ * g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &contents, NULL, &err);
+ * g_assert ((contents == NULL && err != NULL) || (contents != NULL && err == NULL));
+ * if (err != NULL)
+ * {
+ * // Report error to user, and free error
+ * g_assert (contents == NULL);
+ * fprintf (stderr, "Unable to read file: %s\n", err->message);
+ * g_error_free (err);
+ * }
+ * else
+ * {
+ * // Use file contents
+ * g_assert (contents != NULL);
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ * Note that `err != NULL` in this example is a reliable indicator
+ * of whether g_file_get_contents() failed. Additionally,
+ * g_file_get_contents() returns a boolean which
+ * indicates whether it was successful.
+ *
+ * Because g_file_get_contents() returns %FALSE on failure, if you
+ * are only interested in whether it failed and don't need to display
+ * an error message, you can pass %NULL for the @error argument:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * if (g_file_get_contents ("foo.txt", &contents, NULL, NULL)) // ignore errors
+ * // no error occurred
+ * ;
+ * else
+ * // error
+ * ;
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * The #GError object contains three fields: @domain indicates the module
+ * the error-reporting function is located in, @code indicates the specific
+ * error that occurred, and @message is a user-readable error message with
+ * as many details as possible. Several functions are provided to deal
+ * with an error received from a called function: g_error_matches()
+ * returns %TRUE if the error matches a given domain and code,
+ * g_propagate_error() copies an error into an error location (so the
+ * calling function will receive it), and g_clear_error() clears an
+ * error location by freeing the error and resetting the location to
+ * %NULL. To display an error to the user, simply display the @message,
+ * perhaps along with additional context known only to the calling
+ * function (the file being opened, or whatever - though in the
+ * g_file_get_contents() case, the @message already contains a filename).
+ *
+ * When implementing a function that can report errors, the basic
+ * tool is g_set_error(). Typically, if a fatal error occurs you
+ * want to g_set_error(), then return immediately. g_set_error()
+ * does nothing if the error location passed to it is %NULL.
+ * Here's an example:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gint
+ * foo_open_file (GError **error)
+ * {
+ * gint fd;
+ *
+ * fd = open ("file.txt", O_RDONLY);
+ *
+ * if (fd < 0)
+ * {
+ * g_set_error (error,
+ * FOO_ERROR, // error domain
+ * FOO_ERROR_BLAH, // error code
+ * "Failed to open file: %s", // error message format string
+ * g_strerror (errno));
+ * return -1;
+ * }
+ * else
+ * return fd;
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * Things are somewhat more complicated if you yourself call another
+ * function that can report a #GError. If the sub-function indicates
+ * fatal errors in some way other than reporting a #GError, such as
+ * by returning %TRUE on success, you can simply do the following:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gboolean
+ * my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
+ * {
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
+ *
+ * if (!sub_function_that_can_fail (err))
+ * {
+ * // assert that error was set by the sub-function
+ * g_assert (err == NULL || *err != NULL);
+ * return FALSE;
+ * }
+ *
+ * // otherwise continue, no error occurred
+ * g_assert (err == NULL || *err == NULL);
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * If the sub-function does not indicate errors other than by
+ * reporting a #GError, you need to create a temporary #GError
+ * since the passed-in one may be %NULL. g_propagate_error() is
+ * intended for use in this case.
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gboolean
+ * my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
+ * {
+ * GError *tmp_error;
+ *
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
+ *
+ * tmp_error = NULL;
+ * sub_function_that_can_fail (&tmp_error);
+ *
+ * if (tmp_error != NULL)
+ * {
+ * // store tmp_error in err, if err != NULL,
+ * // otherwise call g_error_free() on tmp_error
+ * g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
+ * return FALSE;
+ * }
+ *
+ * // otherwise continue, no error occurred
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * Error pileups are always a bug. For example, this code is incorrect:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gboolean
+ * my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
+ * {
+ * GError *tmp_error;
+ *
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
+ *
+ * tmp_error = NULL;
+ * sub_function_that_can_fail (&tmp_error);
+ * other_function_that_can_fail (&tmp_error);
+ *
+ * if (tmp_error != NULL)
+ * {
+ * g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
+ * return FALSE;
+ * }
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ * @tmp_error should be checked immediately after sub_function_that_can_fail(),
+ * and either cleared or propagated upward. The rule is: after each error,
+ * you must either handle the error, or return it to the calling function.
+ *
+ * Note that passing %NULL for the error location is the equivalent
+ * of handling an error by always doing nothing about it. So the
+ * following code is fine, assuming errors in sub_function_that_can_fail()
+ * are not fatal to my_function_that_can_fail():
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * gboolean
+ * my_function_that_can_fail (GError **err)
+ * {
+ * GError *tmp_error;
+ *
+ * g_return_val_if_fail (err == NULL || *err == NULL, FALSE);
+ *
+ * sub_function_that_can_fail (NULL); // ignore errors
+ *
+ * tmp_error = NULL;
+ * other_function_that_can_fail (&tmp_error);
+ *
+ * if (tmp_error != NULL)
+ * {
+ * g_propagate_error (err, tmp_error);
+ * return FALSE;
+ * }
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * Note that passing %NULL for the error location ignores errors;
+ * it's equivalent to
+ * `try { sub_function_that_can_fail (); } catch (...) {}`
+ * in C++. It does not mean to leave errors unhandled; it means
+ * to handle them by doing nothing.
+ *
+ * Error domains and codes are conventionally named as follows:
+ *
+ * - The error domain is called <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR,
+ * for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR or %G_THREAD_ERROR:
+ * |[<!-- language="C" -->
+ * #define G_SPAWN_ERROR g_spawn_error_quark ()
+ *
+ * GQuark
+ * g_spawn_error_quark (void)
+ * {
+ * return g_quark_from_static_string ("g-spawn-error-quark");
+ * }
+ * ]|
+ *
+ * - The quark function for the error domain is called
+ * <namespace>_<module>_error_quark,
+ * for example g_spawn_error_quark() or g_thread_error_quark().
+ *
+ * - The error codes are in an enumeration called
+ * <Namespace><Module>Error;
+ * for example, #GThreadError or #GSpawnError.
+ *
+ * - Members of the error code enumeration are called
+ * <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR_<CODE>,
+ * for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FORK or %G_THREAD_ERROR_AGAIN.
+ *
+ * - If there's a "generic" or "unknown" error code for unrecoverable
+ * errors it doesn't make sense to distinguish with specific codes,
+ * it should be called <NAMESPACE>_<MODULE>_ERROR_FAILED,
+ * for example %G_SPAWN_ERROR_FAILED. In the case of error code
+ * enumerations that may be extended in future releases, you should
+ * generally not handle this error code explicitly, but should
+ * instead treat any unrecognized error code as equivalent to
+ * FAILED.
+ *
+ * Summary of rules for use of #GError:
+ *
+ * - Do not report programming errors via #GError.
+ *
+ * - The last argument of a function that returns an error should
+ * be a location where a #GError can be placed (i.e. "#GError** error").
+ * If #GError is used with varargs, the #GError** should be the last
+ * argument before the "...".
+ *
+ * - The caller may pass %NULL for the #GError** if they are not interested
+ * in details of the exact error that occurred.
+ *
+ * - If %NULL is passed for the #GError** argument, then errors should
+ * not be returned to the caller, but your function should still
+ * abort and return if an error occurs. That is, control flow should
+ * not be affected by whether the caller wants to get a #GError.
+ *
+ * - If a #GError is reported, then your function by definition had a
+ * fatal failure and did not complete whatever it was supposed to do.
+ * If the failure was not fatal, then you handled it and you should not
+ * report it. If it was fatal, then you must report it and discontinue
+ * whatever you were doing immediately.
+ *
+ * - If a #GError is reported, out parameters are not guaranteed to
+ * be set to any defined value.
+ *
+ * - A #GError* must be initialized to %NULL before passing its address
+ * to a function that can report errors.
+ *
+ * - "Piling up" errors is always a bug. That is, if you assign a
+ * new #GError to a #GError* that is non-%NULL, thus overwriting
+ * the previous error, it indicates that you should have aborted
+ * the operation instead of continuing. If you were able to continue,
+ * you should have cleared the previous error with g_clear_error().
+ * g_set_error() will complain if you pile up errors.
+ *
+ * - By convention, if you return a boolean value indicating success
+ * then %TRUE means success and %FALSE means failure.
+ * <footnote><para>Avoid creating functions which have a boolean
+ * return value and a GError parameter, but where the boolean does
+ * something other than signal whether the GError is set. Among other
+ * problems, it requires C callers to allocate a temporary error. Instead,
+ * provide a "gboolean *" out parameter. There are functions in GLib
+ * itself such as g_key_file_has_key() that are deprecated because of this.
+ * </para></footnote>
+ * If %FALSE is
+ * returned, the error must be set to a non-%NULL value.
+ * <footnote><para>One exception to this is that in situations that are
+ * already considered to be undefined behaviour (such as when a
+ * g_return_val_if_fail() check fails), the error need not be set.
+ * Instead of checking separately whether the error is set, callers
+ * should ensure that they do not provoke undefined behaviour, then
+ * assume that the error will be set on failure.</para></footnote>
+ *
+ * - A %NULL return value is also frequently used to mean that an error
+ * occurred. You should make clear in your documentation whether %NULL
+ * is a valid return value in non-error cases; if %NULL is a valid value,
+ * then users must check whether an error was returned to see if the
+ * function succeeded.
+ *
+ * - When implementing a function that can report errors, you may want
+ * to add a check at the top of your function that the error return
+ * location is either %NULL or contains a %NULL error (e.g.
+ * `g_return_if_fail (error == NULL || *error == NULL);`).
