//!
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! This library provides [`anyhow::Error`][Error], a trait object based error
//! type for easy idiomatic error handling in Rust applications.
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # Details
//!
//! - Use `Result<T, anyhow::Error>`, or equivalently `anyhow::Result<T>`, as
//! the return type of any fallible function.
//!
//! Within the function, use `?` to easily propagate any error that implements
//! the `std::error::Error` trait.
//!
//! ```
//! # pub trait Deserialize {}
//! #
//! # mod serde_json {
//! # use super::Deserialize;
//! # use std::io;
//! #
//! # pub fn from_str<T: Deserialize>(json: &str) -> io::Result<T> {
//! # unimplemented!()
//! # }
//! # }
//! #
//! # struct ClusterMap;
//! #
//! # impl Deserialize for ClusterMap {}
//! #
//! use anyhow::Result;
//!
//! fn get_cluster_info() -> Result<ClusterMap> {
//! let config = std::fs::read_to_string("cluster.json")?;
//! let map: ClusterMap = serde_json::from_str(&config)?;
//! Ok(map)
//! }
//! #
//! # fn main() {}
//! ```
//!
//! - Attach context to help the person troubleshooting the error understand
//! where things went wrong. A low-level error like "No such file or
//! directory" can be annoying to debug without more context about what higher
//! level step the application was in the middle of.
//!
//! ```
//! # struct It;
//! #
//! # impl It {
//! # fn detach(&self) -> Result<()> {
//! # unimplemented!()
//! # }
//! # }
//! #
//! use anyhow::{Context, Result};
//!
//! fn main() -> Result<()> {
//! # return Ok(());
//! #
//! # const _: &str = stringify! {
//! ...
//! # };
//! #
//! # let it = It;
//! # let path = "./path/to/instrs.json";
//! #
//! it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?;
//!
//! let content = std::fs::read(path)
//! .with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path))?;
//! #
//! # const _: &str = stringify! {
//! ...
//! # };
//! #
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! ```console
//! Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
//!
//! Caused by:
//! No such file or directory (os error 2)
//! ```
//!
//! - Downcasting is supported and can be by value, by shared reference, or by
//! mutable reference as needed.
//!
//! ```
//! # use anyhow::anyhow;
//! # use std::fmt::{self, Display};
//! # use std::task::Poll;
//! #
//! # #[derive(Debug)]
//! # enum DataStoreError {
//! # Censored(()),
//! # }
//! #
//! # impl Display for DataStoreError {
//! # fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
//! # unimplemented!()
//! # }
//! # }
//! #
//! # impl std::error::Error for DataStoreError {}
//! #
//! # const REDACTED_CONTENT: () = ();
//! #
//! # let error = anyhow!("...");
//! # let root_cause = &error;
//! #
//! # let ret =
//! // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a
//! // tombstone instead of the content.
//! match root_cause.downcast_ref::<DataStoreError>() {
//! Some(DataStoreError::Censored(_)) => Ok(Poll::Ready(REDACTED_CONTENT)),
//! None => Err(error),
//! }
//! # ;
//! ```
//!
//! - If using the nightly channel, or stable with `features = ["backtrace"]`, a
//! backtrace is captured and printed with the error if the underlying error
//! type does not already provide its own. In order to see backtraces, they
//! must be enabled through the environment variables described in
//! [`std::backtrace`]:
//!
//! - If you want panics and errors to both have backtraces, set
//! `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`;
//! - If you want only errors to have backtraces, set `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1`;
//! - If you want only panics to have backtraces, set `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` and
//! `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=0`.
//!
//! The tracking issue for this feature is [rust-lang/rust#53487].
//!
//!
//! - Anyhow works with any error type that has an impl of `std::error::Error`,
//! including ones defined in your crate. We do not bundle a `derive(Error)`
//! macro but you can write the impls yourself or use a standalone macro like
//! [thiserror].
//!
//!
//! ```
//! use thiserror::Error;
//!
//! #[derive(Error, Debug)]
//! pub enum FormatError {
//! #[error("Invalid header (expected {expected:?}, got {found:?})")]
//! InvalidHeader {
//! expected: String,
//! found: String,
//! },
//! #[error("Missing attribute: {0}")]
//! MissingAttribute(String),
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! - One-off error messages can be constructed using the `anyhow!` macro, which
//! supports string interpolation and produces an `anyhow::Error`.
//!
//! ```
//! # use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
//! #
//! # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
//! # let missing = "...";
//! return Err(anyhow!("Missing attribute: {}", missing));
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return.
//!
//! ```
//! # use anyhow::{bail, Result};
//! #
//! # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
//! # let missing = "...";
//! bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # No-std support
//!
//! In no_std mode, the same API is almost all available and works the same way.
//! To depend on Anyhow in no_std mode, disable our default enabled "std"
//! feature in Cargo.toml. A global allocator is required.
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = { version = "1.0", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!
//! Since the `?`-based error conversions would normally rely on the
//! `std::error::Error` trait which is only available through std, no_std mode
//! will require an explicit `.map_err(Error::msg)` when working with a
//! non-Anyhow error type inside a function that returns Anyhow's error type.

/// The `Error` type, a wrapper around a dynamic error type.
///
/// `Error` works a lot like `Box<dyn std::error::Error>`, but with these
/// differences:
///
/// - `Error` requires that the error is `Send`, `Sync`, and `'static`.
/// - `Error` guarantees that a backtrace is available, even if the underlying
/// error type does not provide one.
/// - `Error` is represented as a narrow pointer &mdash; exactly one word in

/// # Display representations
///
/// When you print an error object using "{}" or to_string(), only the outermost
/// underlying error or context is printed, not any of the lower level causes.
/// This is exactly as if you had called the Display impl of the error from
/// which you constructed your anyhow::Error.
///
/// ```console
/// Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
/// ```
///
/// To print causes as well using anyhow's default formatting of causes, use the
/// alternate selector "{:#}".
///
/// ```console
/// Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json: No such file or directory (os error 2)
/// ```
///
/// The Debug format "{:?}" includes your backtrace if one was captured. Note
/// that this is the representation you get by default if you return an error
/// from `fn main` instead of printing it explicitly yourself.
///
/// ```console
/// Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
///
/// Caused by:
/// No such file or directory (os error 2)
/// ```
///
/// and if there is a backtrace available:
///
/// ```console
/// Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
///
/// Caused by:
/// No such file or directory (os error 2)
///
/// Stack backtrace:

/// # Effect on downcasting
///
/// After attaching context of type `C` onto an error of type `E`, the resulting
/// `anyhow::Error` may be downcast to `C` **or** to `E`.
///
/// That is, in codebases that rely on downcasting, Anyhow's context supports
/// both of the following use cases:
///
/// - **Attaching context whose type is insignificant onto errors whose type
/// is used in downcasts.**
///
/// In other error libraries whose context is not designed this way, it can
/// be risky to introduce context to existing code because new context might
/// break existing working downcasts. In Anyhow, any downcast that worked
/// before adding context will continue to work after you add a context, so
/// you should freely add human-readable context to errors wherever it would
/// be helpful.
///
/// ```

/// // correctly succeed even with the context in between.
/// # return;
/// }
/// # panic!("expected downcast to succeed");
/// }
/// ```
///
/// - **Attaching context whose type is used in downcasts onto errors whose
/// type is insignificant.**

/// lower level errors in a way that will be actionable to higher levels of
/// the application.
