     17 // This file contains classes for returning a successful result along with an optional
     18 // arbitrarily typed return value or for returning a failure result along with an optional string
     19 // indicating why the function failed.
     20 
     21 // There are 3 classes that implement this functionality and one additional helper type.
     22 //
     23 // Result<T> either contains a member of type T that can be accessed using similar semantics as
     24 // std::optional<T> or it contains a ResultError describing an error, which can be accessed via
     25 // Result<T>::error().
     26 //
     27 // ResultError is a type that contains both a std::string describing the error and a copy of errno
     28 // from when the error occurred.  ResultError can be used in an ostream directly to print its
     29 // string value.
     30 //
     31 // Success is a typedef that aids in creating Result<T> that do not contain a return value.
     32 // Result<Success> is the correct return type for a function that either returns successfully or
     33 // returns an error value.  Returning Success() from a function that returns Result<Success> is the
     34 // correct way to indicate that a function without a return type has completed successfully.
     35 //
     36 // A successful Result<T> is constructed implicitly from any type that can be implicitly converted
     37 // to T or from the constructor arguments for T.  This allows you to return a type T directly from
     38 // a function that returns Result<T>.
     39 //
     40 // Error and ErrnoError are used to construct a Result<T> that has failed.  The Error class takes
     41 // an ostream as an input and are implicitly cast to a Result<T> containing that failure.
     42 // ErrnoError() is a helper function to create an Error class that appends ": " + strerror(errno)
     43 // to the end of the failure string to aid in interacting with C APIs.  Alternatively, an errno
     44 // value can be directly specified via the Error() constructor.
     45 //
     46 // ResultError can be used in the ostream when using Error to construct a Result<T>.  In this case,
     47 // the string that the ResultError takes is passed through the stream normally, but the errno is
     48 // passed to the Result<T>.  This can be used to pass errno from a failing C function up multiple
     49 // callers.
     50 //
     51 // ResultError can also directly construct a Result<T>.  This is particularly useful if you have a
     52 // function that return Result<T> but you have a Result<U> and want to return its error.  In this
     53 // case, you can return the .error() from the Result<U> to construct the Result<T>.
     54 
     55 // An example of how to use these is below:
     56 // Result<U> CalculateResult(const T& input) {
     57 //   U output;
     58 //   if (!SomeOtherCppFunction(input, &output)) {
     59 //     return Error() << "SomeOtherCppFunction(" << input << ") failed";
     60 //   }
     61 //   if (!c_api_function(output)) {
     62 //     return ErrnoError() << "c_api_function(" << output << ") failed";
     63 //   }
     64 //   return output;
     65 // }
     66 //
     67 // auto output = CalculateResult(input);
     68 // if (!output) return Error() << "CalculateResult failed: " << output.error();
     69 // UseOutput(*output);
