Finding an Error cause

To distinguish the errors occuring in various places, we can define named string errors with the "new type" pattern.

derive_str_cherr!(Func2Error);
derive_str_cherr!(Func1Error);

Instead of ChainError<String> we now have struct Func1Error(String) and ChainError<Func1Error>.

In the main function you can see, how we can match the different errors.

Also see:

            if let Some(f2err) = f1err.find_chain_cause::<Func2Error>() {

as a shortcut to

            if let Some(f2err) = f1err.find_cause::<ChainError<Func2Error>>() {

hiding the ChainError<T> implementation detail.

use chainerror::*;
use std::error::Error;
use std::io;
use std::result::Result;

fn do_some_io() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> {
    Err(io::Error::from(io::ErrorKind::NotFound))?;
    Ok(())
}

derive_str_cherr!(Func2Error);

fn func2() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> {
    let filename = "foo.txt";
    do_some_io().map_err(mstrerr!(Func2Error, "Error reading '{}'", filename))?;
    Ok(())
}

derive_str_cherr!(Func1Error);

fn func1() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> {
    func2().map_err(mstrerr!(Func1Error, "func1 error"))?;
    Ok(())
}

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error + Send + Sync>> {
    if let Err(e) = func1() {
        if let Some(f1err) = e.downcast_chain_ref::<Func1Error>() {
            eprintln!("Func1Error: {}", f1err);

            if let Some(f2err) = f1err.find_cause::<ChainError<Func2Error>>() {
                eprintln!("Func2Error: {}", f2err);
            }

            if let Some(f2err) = f1err.find_chain_cause::<Func2Error>() {
                eprintln!("Debug Func2Error:\n{:?}", f2err);
            }
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

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<T>` 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`
//!
