In general this means + * only _one_ active error is possible per thread. A new error will overwrite + * the previous one. To prevent this use MultiResult or ErrorInfoKeeper (see + * below). The implementations in MSCOM/XPCOM differ slightly, but the details + * are handled by this glue code. + * + * We have different classes which are involved in the error management. I try + * to describe them separately to make clear what they are there for. + * + * ErrorInfo: + * + * This class is able to retrieve the per thread error and store it into its + * member variables. This class can also handle non-VirtualBox errors (like + * standard COM errors). + * + * ProgressErrorInfo: + * + * This is just a simple wrapper class to get the ErrorInfo stored within an + * IProgress object. That is the error which was stored when the progress + * object was in use and not an error produced by IProgress itself. + * + * IVirtualBoxErrorInfo: + * + * The VirtualBox interface class for accessing error information from Main + * clients. This class is also used for storing the error information in the + * thread context. + * + * ErrorInfoKeeper: + * + * A helper class which stores the current per thread info internally. After + * calling methods which may produce other errors it is possible to restore + * the previous error and therefore restore the situation before calling the + * other methods. + * + * MultiResult: + * + * Creating an instance of MultiResult turns error chain saving on. All errors + * which follow will be saved in a chain for later access. + * + * COMErrorInfo (Qt/Gui only): + * + * The Qt GUI does some additional work for saving errors. Because we create + * wrappers for _every_ COM call, it is possible to automatically save the + * error info after the execution. This allow some additional info like saving + * the callee. Please note that this error info is saved on the client side + * and therefore locally to the object instance. See COMBaseWithEI, + * COMErrorInfo and the generated COMWrappers.cpp in the GUI. + * + * Errors itself are set in VirtualBoxBase::setErrorInternal. First a + * IVirtualBoxErrorInfo object is created and the given error is saved within. + * If MultiResult is active the current per thread error is fetched and + * attached to the new created IVirtualBoxErrorInfo object. Next this object is + * set as the new per thread error. + * + * Some general hints: + * + * - Always use setError, especially when you are working in an asynchronous thread + * to indicate an error. Otherwise the error information itself will not make + * it into the client. + * + */ + +/** + * The ErrorInfo class provides a convenient way to retrieve error + * information set by the most recent interface method, that was invoked on + * the current thread and returned an unsuccessful result code. + * + * Once the instance of this class is created, the error information for + * the current thread is cleared. + * + * There is no sense to use instances of this class after the last + * invoked interface method returns a success. + * + * The class usage pattern is as follows: + * <code> + * IFoo *foo; + * ... + * HRESULT rc = foo->SomeMethod(); + * if (FAILED(rc)) { + * ErrorInfo info(foo); + * if (info.isFullAvailable()) { + * printf("error message = %ls\n", info.getText().raw()); + * } + * } + * </code> + * + * This class fetches error information using the IErrorInfo interface on + * Win32 (MS COM) or the nsIException interface on other platforms (XPCOM), + * or the extended IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface when when it is available + * (i.e. a given IErrorInfo or nsIException instance implements it). + * Currently, IVirtualBoxErrorInfo is only available for VirtualBox components. + * + * ErrorInfo::isFullAvailable() and ErrorInfo::isBasicAvailable() determine + * what level of error information is available. If #isBasicAvailable() + * returns true, it means that only IErrorInfo or nsIException is available as + * the source of information (depending on the platform), but not + * IVirtualBoxErrorInfo. If #isFullAvailable() returns true, it means that all + * three interfaces are available. If both methods return false, no error info + * is available at all. + * + * Here is a table of correspondence between this class methods and + * and IErrorInfo/nsIException/IVirtualBoxErrorInfo attributes/methods: + * + * ErrorInfo IErrorInfo nsIException IVirtualBoxErrorInfo + * -------------------------------------------------------------------- + * getResultCode -- result resultCode + * getIID GetGUID -- interfaceID + * getComponent GetSource -- component + * getText GetDescription message text + * + * '--' means that this interface does not provide the corresponding portion + * of information, therefore it is useless to query it if only + * #isBasicAvailable() returns true.
