Detailed Description

A class for managing error numbers and strings.

It can have either a system error value, like those defined in errno.h, or an arbitrary error string. In either case, it can return a string representation of the error message.

This object is most useful for using as a base class of your own class, for historical/backwards compatibility reasons. Consider using a WvError instead, and making it a member of your class instead of a parent.

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool WvErrorBase::isok  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

By default, returns true if geterr() == 0.

Might be overridden so that isok() == false even though no error code has been specified.

virtual int WvErrorBase::geterr  )  const [inline, virtual]
 

If isok() is false, return the system error number corresponding to the error, -1 for a special error string (which you can obtain with errstr()) or 0 on end of file.

If isok() is true, returns an undefined number.

void WvErrorBase::seterr int  _errnum  )  [virtual]
 

Set the errnum variable -- we have an error.

If called more than once, seterr() doesn't change the error code away from the previous one. That way, we remember the _original_ cause of our problems.

Subclasses may want to override seterr(int) to shut themselves down (eg. WvStream::close()) when an error condition is set.

Note that seterr(WvString) will call seterr(-1).

Reimplemented in WvStream.
