Many times, API provided do * not allow to get more information if something wrong happen making * it difficult to reach and solve the problem (including the * development phase). * * From a developer's perspective, here is how works \ref axlError, * * \code * void some_public_exported_function (int param, axlError ** error) * { * // do some work, but if it fails call to produce the error * // reporting. * axl_error_new (-2, // reporting an error code * "Something wasn't ok while processing..", * NULL, // a reference to the stream (optional) * error); // variable received. * return; * } * \endcode * * Previous construction makes error reporting optional but at the * same time, available, because the programmer doesn't requires to * check if the user did define the error variable, making it * available at user option. * * Now, if the user defines the \ref axlError reference, by calling to * the function, it can get the error reported as follows: * * \code * // declare the variable and it to null * axlError * error = NULL; * * // call to function * some_pulic_exported_function (10, &error); * if (! axl_error_was_ok (error)) { * // drop the message * printf ("Something has failed: (code: %d) %s\n", * axl_error_get_code (error), * axl_error_get (error)); * // dealloc the reference * axl_error_free (error); * } * \endcode * * Alternatively, the user can just bypass the error reporting * mechanism, without affecting the written code inside the source of * the function supporting the \ref axlError notification (even if the * code calls to \ref axl_error_new): * * \code * // call to the function without error reporting * some_pulic_exported_function (10, NULL); * \endcode * * In most cases, \ref axl_error_new is not used by API consumers but * by API developers.
