Define Documentation

#define LOG_RTERR ( pctxt,
stat   )     rtxErrSetData(pctxt,stat,__FILE__,__LINE__)

This macro is used to log a run-time error in the context.

It calls the rtxErrSetData function to set the status and error parameters. The C built-in __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros are used to record the position in the source file of the error.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
stat Error status value from rtxErrCodes.h

Definition at line 60 of file rtxError.h.

#define OSRTASSERT ( condition   )     if (!(condition)) { rtxErrAssertionFailed(#condition,__LINE__,__FILE__); }

This macro is used to check an assertion.

This is a condition that is expected to be true. The rtxErrAssertionFailed function is called if the condition is not true. The C built-in __FILE__ and __LINE__ macros are used to record the position in the source file of the failure.

Parameters:
condition Condition to check (for example, "(ptr != NULL)")

Definition at line 82 of file rtxError.h.

#define OSRTCHECKPARAM ( condition   )     if (condition) { /* do nothing */ }

This macro check a condition but takes no action.

Its main use is to supress VC++ level 4 "argument not used" warnings.

Parameters:
condition Condition to check (for example, "(ptr != NULL)")

Definition at line 91 of file rtxError.h.

The status of the operation (TRUE if the parameter was sucessfully added).

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxErrAddDoubleParm ( OSCTXT pctxt,
double  errParm 
)

This function adds a double parameter to an error information structure.

Parameters:

Returns:
The status of the operation (TRUE if the parameter was sucessfully added).

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxErrAddElemNameParm ( OSCTXT pctxt  )

EXTERNRT OSBOOL rtxErrAddErrorTableEntry ( const char *const *  ppStatusText,

EXTERNRT OSUINT32 rtxErrGetErrorCnt ( const OSCTXT pctxt  ) 

This function returns the total number of error records.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
Returns:

EXTERNRT int rtxErrGetStatus ( const OSCTXT pctxt  ) 

This function returns the status value from the context.

It examines the error list to see how many errors were logged. If none, OK (zero) is returned; if one, then the status value in the single error record is returned; if more than one, the special code RTERR_MULTIPLE is returned to indicate that multiple errors occurred.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
Returns:
Status code corresponding to errors in the context.

EXTERNRT char* rtxErrGetText ( OSCTXT pctxt,
char *  pBuf,
size_t *  pBufSize 
)

This function returns error text in a memory buffer.

If buffer pointer and buffer size are specified in parameters (not NULL) then error text will be copied in the passed buffer. Otherwise, this function allocates memory using the 'rtxMemAlloc' function. This memory is automatically freed at the time the 'rtxMemFree' or 'rtxFreeContext' functions are called. The calling function may free the memory by using 'rtxMemFreePtr' function.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
pBuf A pointer to a destination buffer to obtain the error text. If NULL, dynamic buffer will be allocated.
pBufSize A pointer to buffer size. If pBuf is NULL and this parameter is not, it will receive the size of allocated dynamic buffer.
Returns:
A pointer to a buffer with error text. If pBuf is not NULL, the return pointer will be equal to it. Otherwise, returns newly allocated buffer with error text. NULL, if error occurred.

EXTERNRT char* rtxErrGetTextBuf ( OSCTXT pctxt,
char *  pbuf,
size_t  bufsiz 
)

This function returns error text in the given fixed-size memory buffer.

If the text will not fit in the buffer, it is truncated.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
pbuf Pointer to a destination buffer to receive text.
bufsiz Size of the buffer.
Returns:
Pointer to the buffer (pbuf).

EXTERNRT void rtxErrInit (  ) 

This function is a one-time initialization function that must be called before any other error processing functions can be called.

It adds the common error status text codes to the global error table.

EXTERNRT void rtxErrLogUsingCB ( OSCTXT pctxt,
OSErrCbFunc  cb,
void *  cbArg_p 
)

This function allows error information to be logged using a user-defined callback routine.

The callback information is invoked with error information in the context allowing the user to do application-specific handling (for example, it can be written to an error log or a Window display). The prototype of the callback function to be passed is as follows:

int cb (const char* ptext, void* cbArg_p);

where ptext is a pointer to the formatted error text string and cbArg_p is a pointer to a user-defined callback argument.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
cb Callback function pointer.
cbArg_p Pointer to a user-defined argument that is passed to the callback function.

EXTERNRT OSRTErrInfo* rtxErrNewNode ( OSCTXT pctxt  ) 

This function creates a new empty error record for the passed context.

rtxErrSetData function call with bAllocNew = FALSE should be used to set the data for this node.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
Returns:
A pointer to a newly allocated error record; NULL, if error occurred.

EXTERNRT void rtxErrPrint ( OSCTXT pctxt  ) 

This function is used to print the error information stored in the context to the standard output device.

Parameter substitution is done so that recorded parameters are added to the output message text.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.

EXTERNRT void rtxErrPrintElement ( OSRTErrInfo pErrInfo  ) 

This function is used to print the error information stored in the error information element to the standard output device.

Parameter substitution is done so that recorded parameters are added to the output message text.

Parameters:
pErrInfo A pointer to an error information element.

EXTERNRT int rtxErrReset ( OSCTXT pctxt  ) 

This function is used to reset the error state recorded in the context to successful.

It is used in the generated code in places where automatic error correction can be done.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.

EXTERNRT int rtxErrResetLastErrors ( OSCTXT pctxt,
int  errorsToReset 
)

This function resets last 'errorsToReset` errors in the context.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
errorsToReset A number of errors to reset, starting from the last record.
Returns:
Completion status of operation:
  • 0(RT_OK) = success,
  • negative return value is error

EXTERNRT int rtxErrSetData ( OSCTXT pctxt,
int  status,
const char *  module,
int  lineno 
)

status The error status code from rtxErrCodes.h
module The C source file in which the error occurred.
lineno The line number within the source file of the error.

It is typically called via the LOG_RTERRNEW macro in the generated code to trap error conditions. It always allocates new error record.

Parameters:
pctxt A pointer to a context structure.
status The error status code from rtxErrCodes.h
module The C source file in which the error occurred.
lineno The line number within the source file of the error.
