<p><code>chainerror</code> provides an error backtrace like <code>failure</code> without doing a real backtrace, so even after you <code>strip</code> your
binaries, you still have the error backtrace.</p>
<p><code>chainerror</code> has no dependencies!</p>
<p><code>chainerror</code> uses <code>.source()</code> of <code>std::error::Error</code> along with <code>line()!</code> and <code>file()!</code> to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
It encapsulates all types, which have <code>Display + Debug</code> and can store the error cause internally.</p>
<p>Along with the <code>ChainError&lt;T&gt;</code> struct, <code>chainerror</code> comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.</p>

<p>An easy way of doing error handling in rust is by returning <code>String</code> as a <code>Box&lt;std::error::Error&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>If the rust <code>main</code> function returns an <code>Err()</code>, this <code>Err()</code> will be displayed with <code>std::fmt::Debug</code>.</p>
<p>As you can see by running the example (by pressing the &quot;Play&quot; button in upper right of the code block),
this only
prints out the last <code>Error</code>.</p>

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`

<p>If you compare the output to the previous example, you will see,
that:</p>
<pre><code>Error: src/main.rs:19: &quot;func1 error&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>changed to just:</p>
<pre><code>src/main.rs:16: &quot;func1 error&quot;
</code></pre>
<p>This is, because we caught the error of <code>func1()</code> in <code>main()</code> and print it out ourselves.</p>
<p>We can now control, whether to output in <code>Debug</code> or <code>Display</code> mode.
Maybe depending on <code>--debug</code> as a CLI argument.</p>
<a class="header" href="#saving-coding-chars" id="saving-coding-chars"><h1>Saving coding chars</h1></a>
<p>Because decorating an error with more information should not
let you jump through hoops, <code>chainerror</code> has a quick macro for that.</p>
<p><code>mstrerror!()</code> fits right into <code>.map_err()</code> letting you quickly add
more debug strings.</p>
<p><code>mstrerror!()</code> even understands <code>format!()</code> syntax like <code>println!()</code>.</p>

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`

# #[allow(dead_code)]
# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
# //!

# #[allow(dead_code)]
# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
# //!

# #[allow(dead_code)]
# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
# //!

<p>What about functions returning different Error types?</p>
<p>In this example <code>func1()</code> can return either <code>Func1ErrorFunc2</code> or <code>Func1ErrorIO</code>.</p>
<p>We might want to <code>match</code> on <code>func1()</code> with something like:</p>
<pre><code class="language-rust ignore">fn main() -&gt; Result&lt;(), Box&lt;Error&gt;&gt; {
    match func1() {
        Err(e) if let Some(s) = e.downcast_chain_ref::&lt;Func1ErrorIO&gt;() =&gt;
        eprintln!(&quot;Func1ErrorIO:\n{:?}&quot;, s),

        Err(e) if let Some(s) = e.downcast_chain_ref::&lt;Func1ErrorFunc2&gt;() =&gt;
        eprintln!(&quot;Func1ErrorFunc2:\n{:?}&quot;, s),
        
        Ok(_) =&gt; {}, 
    }
    Ok(())
}
</code></pre>
<p>but this is not valid rust code, so we end up doing it the hard way.
In the next chapter, we will see, how to solve this more elegantly.</p>

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`

<a class="header" href="#errorkind-to-the-rescue" id="errorkind-to-the-rescue"><h1>ErrorKind to the rescue</h1></a>
<p>To cope with different kind of errors, we introduce the kind of an error <code>Func1ErrorKind</code> with an enum.</p>
<p>Because we derive <code>Debug</code> and implement <code>Display</code> our <code>Func1ErrorKind</code> enum, this enum can be used as
a <code>std::error::Error</code>.</p>
<p>Not using <code>String</code> errors anymore, the <code>cherr!()</code> macro seen in the beginning of
the tutorial has to be used again.</p>
<p>Only returning <code>Func1ErrorKind</code> in <code>func1()</code> now let us get rid of <code>Result&lt;(), Box&lt;Error&gt;&gt;</code> and we can
use <code>ChainResult&lt;(), Func1ErrorKind&gt;</code>.</p>
<p>In <code>main</code> we can now directly use the methods of <code>ChainError&lt;T&gt;</code> without downcasting the error first.</p>
<p>Also a nice <code>match</code> on <code>ChainError&lt;T&gt;.kind()</code> is now possible, which returns <code>&amp;T</code>, meaning
<code>&amp;Func1ErrorKind</code> here.</p>

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`

<a class="header" href="#debug-for-the-errorkind" id="debug-for-the-errorkind"><h1>Debug for the ErrorKind</h1></a>
<p>One small improvement at the end of the tutorial is to fix the debug output of
<code>Func1ErrorKind</code>. As you probably noticed, the output doesn't say much of the enum.</p>
<pre><code>Debug Error:
src/main.rs:35: Func2
[…]
</code></pre>
<p>As a lazy shortcut, we implement <code>Debug</code> by calling <code>Display</code> and end up with</p>
<pre><code>Debug Error:
src/main.rs:40: func1 error calling func2
[…}
</code></pre>
<p>which gives us a lot more detail.</p>
<p>To create your own Errors, you might find <a href="https://crates.io">crates</a> which create enum <code>Display+Debug</code> via derive macros.</p>
<p>Also noteworthy is <a href="https://crates.io/crates/custom_error">custom_error</a> to define your custom errors,
which can then be used with <code>chainerror</code>.</p>

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`

# mod chainerror {
# //! `chainerror` provides an error backtrace without doing a real backtrace, so even after you `strip` your
# //! binaries, you still have the error backtrace.
# //!
# //! `chainerror` has no dependencies!
# //!
# //! `chainerror` uses `.source()` of `std::error::Error` along with `line()!` and `file()!` to provide a nice debug error backtrace.
# //! It encapsulates all types, which have `Display + Debug` and can store the error cause internally.
# //!
# //! Along with the `ChainError&lt;T&gt;` struct, `chainerror` comes with some useful helper macros to save a lot of typing.
# //!
# //! ## Features
# //!
# //! `no-fileline`
# //! : completely turn off storing filename and line
# //!
# //! `display-cause`
# //! : turn on printing a backtrace of the errors in `Display`
# //!
# //! `no-debug-cause`
# //! : turn off printing a backtrace of the errors in `Debug`
