#include <nihcl/nihclerrs.h>
Error codes and their associated error messages are defined in the file
`nihclerrs.err'. The
errgen
utility reads this file and generates the file
`nihclerrs.h', which defines a preprocessor symbol beginning with
"NIHCL__"
for each error code, and the file
`nihclerrs.c', which defines a table containing the corresponding error messages.
While modules may use the
NIHCL__
symbols as the first argument to
NIHCL::setError(), doing so requires including
`nihclerrs.h', which causes the module to be recompiled each time a new error code is added to the library. To eliminate this dependency, a corresponding external symbol beginning with
"NIHCL_"
is also defined for each error code, and it is these external symbols that modules typically use when calling
NIHCL::setError().
Each error message begins with the error code enclosed in
[]s. The name of the corresponding preprocessor symbol for the error is obtained by prepending
"NIHCL__", and the name of the corresponding external symbol for the error is obtained by prepending
"NIHCL_". For example, the error message
[ALLOCFAIL] Not enough memory -- NEW failed
has the corresponding preprocessor symbol
NIHCL__ALLOCFAIL
and the external symbol
NIHCL_ALLOCFAIL.
An error message may also include variable fields, which are filled in from arguments passed to
NIHCL::setError()
at the error site.
The following section describes each NIH Class Library error message in detail.
[ALLOCFAIL] Not enough memory -- NEW failed
