<a name="cairo-Error-handling.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
Cairo uses a single status type to represent all kinds of errors.  A status
value of <a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#CAIRO-STATUS-SUCCESS:CAPS"><code class="literal">CAIRO_STATUS_SUCCESS</code></a> represents no error and has an integer value
of zero.  All other status values represent an error.
</p>
<p>
Cairo's error handling is designed to be easy to use and safe.  All major
cairo objects <em class="firstterm">retain</em> an error status internally which
can be queried anytime by the users using cairo*_status() calls.  In
the mean time, it is safe to call all cairo functions normally even if the
underlying object is in an error status.  This means that no error handling
code is required before or after each individual cairo function call.

  that the version of cairo at run-time may have additional status values
  defined than the value of this symbol at compile-time. (Since 1.10)

<p>
Resets all static data within cairo to its original state,
(ie. identical to the state at the time of program invocation). For
example, all caches within cairo will be flushed empty.
</p>
<p>
This function is intended to be useful when using memory-checking
tools such as valgrind. When valgrind's memcheck analyzes a
cairo-using program without a call to <a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#cairo-debug-reset-static-data" title="cairo_debug_reset_static_data ()"><code class="function">cairo_debug_reset_static_data()</code></a>,
it will report all data reachable via cairo's static objects as
"still reachable". Calling <a class="link" href="cairo-Error-handling.html#cairo-debug-reset-static-data" title="cairo_debug_reset_static_data ()"><code class="function">cairo_debug_reset_static_data()</code></a> just prior
to program termination will make it easier to get squeaky clean
reports from valgrind.
</p>
<p>
WARNING: It is only safe to call this function when there are no
active cairo objects remaining, (ie. the appropriate destroy
functions have been called as necessary). If there are active cairo
objects, this call is likely to cause a crash, (eg. an assertion
failure due to a hash table being destroyed when non-empty).
