Q3Error_IsFatalError

You can use the Q3Error_IsFatalError function to determine whether an error is fatal.

TQ3Boolean Q3Error_IsFatalError (TQ3Error error);

error

A code that indicates the type of error that has occurred.

DESCRIPTION

The Q3Error_IsFatalError function returns, as its function result, a Boolean value that indicates whether the error value specified by the error parameter is a fatal error (kQ3True) or is not a fatal error (kQ3False). You can call Q3Error_IsFatalError from within an error-handling method or after having called Q3Error_Get to get an error directly. If Q3Error_IsFatalError returns kQ3True, you should not call any other QuickDraw 3D routines. QuickDraw 3D executes a long jump when it encounters a fatal error; your application should terminate.

Currently, QuickDraw 3D recognizes these errors as fatal:

kQ3ErrorInternalError
kQ3ErrorNoRecovery
