newerror - create or recall a described error-value
SYNOPSIS
newerror([str])
TYPES
str string
return error-value
DESCRIPTION
If str is not "" and has not earlier been used as an argument for
this function, newerror(str) creates a new described error-value so
that any future use of newerror(str) with the same str will return
the same error-value.
If x = newerror(str), both strerror(x) and strerror(iserro(x)) will
return str and iserror(x) will return the error code value of the
new error.
The null cases newerror() and newerror("") are equivalent to
newerror("???").
EXAMPLE
Note that by default, errmax() is 0 so unless errmax() is
increased you will get:
; ba = newerror("curds n' whey");
Error 20000 caused errcount to exceed errmax
; errmax(errcount()+5)
0
; e1 = newerror("triangle side length <= 0")
; iserror(e1)
20000
; error(20000)
Error 20000
; strerror(error(20000))
"triangle side length <= 0"
; strerror(e1);
"triangle side length <= 0"
; strerror(error(iserror(e1)))
"triangle side length <= 0"
; define area(a,b,c) {
;; local s;
;; if (!(a > 0) || !(b > 0) || !(c > 0)) return e1;
;; s = (a + b + c)/2;
;; if (s <= a || s <= b || s <= c) return newerror("Non-triangle sides");
;; return sqrt(s * (s - a) * (s - b) * (s - c));
;; }
"area" defined
; A = area(8,2,5);
; if (iserror(A)) print strerror(A) : ":", iserror(A);
Non-triangle sides: 20001
; A = area(-3,4,5)
; if (iserror(A)) print strerror(A) : ":", iserror(A);
triangle side length <= 0: 20000
LIMITS
The number of new described error-values is not to exceed 12767.
