//! An experimental new error handling library. //! //! The primary items exported by this library are: //! //! - `Fail`: a new trait for custom error types in Rust. //! - `Error`: a wrapper around `Fail` types to make it easy to coallesce them //! at higher levels. //! //! As a general rule, library authors should create their own error types and //! implement `Fail` for them, whereas application authors should primarily //! deal with the `Error` type. There are exceptions to this rule, though, in //! both directions, and users should do whatever seems most appropriate to //! their situation. #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)] #![deny(missing_docs)] macro_rules! with_std { ($($i:item)*) => ($(#[cfg(feature = "std")]$i)*) } macro_rules! without_std { ($($i:item)*) => ($(#[cfg(not(feature = "std"))]$i)*) } mod backtrace; mod compat; mod context; mod error_message; mod result_ext; use core::any::TypeId; use core::fmt::{Display, Debug}; pub use backtrace::Backtrace; pub use compat::Compat; pub use context::Context; pub use error_message::err_msg; pub use result_ext::ResultExt; with_std! { extern crate core; mod sync_failure; pub use sync_failure::SyncFailure; mod error; use std::error::Error as StdError; pub use error::Error; } /// The `Fail` trait. /// /// Implementors of this trait are called 'failures'. /// /// All error types should implement `Fail`, which provides a baseline of /// functionality that they all share. /// /// `Fail` has no required methods, but it does require that your type /// implement several other traits: /// /// - `Display`: to print a user-friendly representation of the error. /// - `Debug`: to print a verbose, developer-focused representation of the /// error. /// - `Send + Sync`: Your error type is required to be safe to transfer to and /// reference from another thread /// /// Additionally, all failures must be `'static`.
