//! Error propagation for QEMU Rust code
//!
//! This module contains [`Error`], the bridge between Rust errors and
//! [`Result`](std::result::Result)s and QEMU's C [`Error`](bindings::Error)
//! struct.
//!
//! For FFI code, [`Error`] provides functions to simplify conversion between
//! the Rust ([`Result<>`](std::result::Result)) and C (`Error**`) conventions:
//!
//! * [`ok_or_propagate`](crate::Error::ok_or_propagate),
//!   [`bool_or_propagate`](crate::Error::bool_or_propagate),
//!   [`ptr_or_propagate`](crate::Error::ptr_or_propagate) can be used to build
//!   a C return value while also propagating an error condition
//!
//! * [`err_or_else`](crate::Error::err_or_else) and
//!   [`err_or_unit`](crate::Error::err_or_unit) can be used to build a `Result`
//!
//! This module is most commonly used at the boundary between C and Rust code;
//! other code will usually access it through the
//! [`qemu_api::Result`](crate::Result) type alias, and will use the
//! [`std::error::Error`] interface to let C errors participate in Rust's error
//! handling functionality.
//!
//! Rust code can also create use this module to create an error object that
//! will be passed up to C code, though in most cases this will be done
//! transparently through the `?` operator.  Errors can be constructed from a
//! simple error string, from an [`anyhow::Error`] to pass any other Rust error
//! type up to C code, or from a combination of the two.
//!
//! The third case, corresponding to [`Error::with_error`], is the only one that
//! requires mentioning [`qemu_api::Error`](crate::Error) explicitly.  Similar
//! to how QEMU's C code handles errno values, the string and the
//! `anyhow::Error` object will be concatenated with `:` as the separator.
