iferr_scope

#define iferr_scope

Instead of using iferr you can define an iferr_scope and within this scope call methods which might return an error (and decorate them with the iferr_return attribute). If a method returns with an error iferr_return will forward it.

iferr_scope;
 
FuncA() iferr_return;
FuncB() iferr_return;

iferr_scope_handler

#define iferr_scope_handler

To perform a specific action in case of an error (additional logging, or just to set a breakpoint for debugging) you can replace iferr_scope by an iferr_scope_handler:

iferr_scope_handler
{
  DebugStop("special message");
  return err;
};
 
FuncA() iferr_return;
FuncB() iferr_return;

iferr_scope_handler implicitely defines the error variable 'err'.

iferr_diag_handler

#define iferr_diag_handler	(		errResult,
			formatString,
			...
	)

Condensed version of iferr_scope_handler. Allows to add some local context to error coming from inner calls (lower level code). The nested error and local context are printed to the console based on g_diagnostic configuration. Can be used on legacy code side of Maxon API code side since the handler's return value is defined by the first argument #errResult. See iferr_scope for details. One per scope only.

auto SomeFuncA()
{
  iferr_diag_handler(localVariable, "Error occurred: CSV data invalid file(@)"_s, filePath);
  ...
}
 
Int SomeFuncB()
{
  iferr_diag_handler(Int{-1}, "Invalid node argument. Value=@ Attrib=@"_s, attribValue, attribId);
  ...
}
 
Result<void> SomeFuncC()
{
  iferr_diag_handler(OK, "Function Name: context(@)"_s, ctx);
  ...
}
 
Result<Array<Int>> SomeFuncD()
{
  iferr_diag_handler(err, "My simple context"_s);
  ...
}
 
void SomeFuncE()
{
  iferr_diag_handler(, "Function E with no return value."_s);
  ...
}

Parameters

[in]	errResult	Value to return in case of error.
[in]	formatString	Format for the DiagnosticOutput embedded call. Variadic arguments should match the number of '@' in #formatString. err.ToString() will be added automatically at the end of the string.

Returns

#errResult. Can be "err" or maxon::OK if function return type is Result<T>. Or any default value or variable which has a compatible type.

iferr_cannot_fail

#define iferr_cannot_fail

(

str

)

If an error cannot occur (because you've ensured this by preallocating resources or the algorithm was designed in such a way, etc.) you might use iferr_cannot_fail with a comment which explans why it can't fail. In debug this will check for errors and invoke DebugStop() to notify you that your code is broken, but in release there are no error checks.

iferr_scope;
BaseArray<Int> array;
 
array.EnsureCapacity(42) iferr_return;
for (Int i = 0; i < GetCapacityCount(); i++)
  array.Append(i) iferr_cannot_fail("Capacity was ensured.");

iferr_ignore

#define iferr_ignore

(

...

)

If for perfomance reasons a piece of code has been very carefully designed in a way that error checking is performed at the very end and that no checks are necessary inbetween you may qualify calls with iferr_ignore and a comment which describes why the error can be ignored.

Note

This should only be used for performance critical code which has been profiled properly and has been reviewed thoroughly.

You might supply an optional second parameter (debug) to cause a DebugStop on error.

BaseArray<Int> array;
const Int CNT = 42;
 
for (Int i = 0; i < CNT; i++)
  array.Append(i) iferr_ignore("Errors are handled after append");
 
if (array.GetCount() != CNT)
  return OutOfMemoryError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION);

iferr_scope_result

#define iferr_scope_result

Use iferr_scope_result in finally blocks to deallocate resources based on the error state.

finally
{
  if (iferr_scope_result == FAILED)
    destructSecond = true;
};

iferr_return

#define iferr_return

The iferr_return macro is the easiest way to introduce error handling. It quickly allows you leave a function as soon as an error occurs. iferr_return requires you to define iferr_scope or iferr_scope_handler once beforehand (preferably at the beginning of your function)

iferr_scope;
...
for (Int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
  array.Append(5) iferr_return;
}
UniqueRef<MyClass> obj = UniqueRef<MyClass>::Create() iferr_return;
MyRef ref = MyRef::Create() iferr_return;

iferr_return forwards the error to the calling function. To do this your function must either return Result<T> or use an iferr_scope_handler.
When iferr_return is used within 'for', 'if', 'else' or 'while' those statements must use brackets around their scope, otherwise iferr_return will not be properly executed.

PRIVATE_iferr_throw

#define PRIVATE_iferr_throw	(		VAR,
			...
	)

iferr_throw

#define iferr_throw

(

ERR

)

Manually throw an error. Especially useful in combination with iferr_scope_handler to cleanup things in case of errors. Usually you just create error messages and return them in case of a problem like in this example:

static Result<void> DoSomething()
{
  Char* mem = NewMem(Char, 200) iferr_return;
 
  while (true)
  {
    // do something
    ...
    if (FuncA() != 2)
      return IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s);
    ...
    if (FuncB() != 40)
      return IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s);
    ...
    if (FuncC() != -3)
      return IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s);
  }
 
  DeleteMem(mem);
  return OK;
}

The big problem is that in case of an error the allocated chars are nevers freed. Instead of deleting the mem at each possible error point in the algo you can throw the error instead of returning them and then catch the error with iferr_scope_handler and handle the cleanup at a single place like in this example:

static Result<void> DoSomething()
{
  Char* mem = nullptr;
 
  iferr_scope_handler
  {
    DeleteMem(mem); // always guarantee cleanup even in error case
    return err;
  };
 
  mem = NewMem(Char, 200) iferr_return;
 
  while (true)
  {
    // do something
    ...
    if (FuncA() != 2)
      iferr_throw(IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s));
    ...
    if (FuncB() != 40)
      iferr_throw(IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s));
    ...
    if (FuncC() != -3)
      iferr_throw(IllegalStateError(MAXON_SOURCE_LOCATION, "Invalid return value"_s));
  }
 
  DeleteMem(mem);
  return OK;
}
