Detailed Description

Represents the 'success' or 'failure' of an operation, and holds an associated error message to describe the error when there's a failure.

E.g.

Result myOperation()
{
    if (doSomeKindOfFoobar())
        return Result::ok();
    else
        return Result::fail ("foobar didn't work!");
}

const Result result (myOperation());

if (result.wasOk())
{
    ...it's all good...
}
else
{
    warnUserAboutFailure ("The foobar operation failed! Error message was: "
                            + result.getErrorMessage());
}

Member Function Documentation

ok()

static Result Result::ok ( )

staticnoexcept

Creates and returns a 'successful' result.

References int(), operator!=(), and operator==().

Referenced by littlefoot::Compiler::compile(), FileInputStream::openedOk(), and FileOutputStream::openedOk().

fail()

static Result Result::fail ( const String &  errorMessage )

staticnoexcept

Creates a 'failure' result.

If you pass a blank error message in here, a default "Unknown Error" message will be used instead.

Referenced by littlefoot::Compiler::compile().

wasOk()

bool Result::wasOk ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if this result indicates a success.

failed()

bool Result::failed ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if this result indicates a failure.

You can use getErrorMessage() to retrieve the error message associated with the failure.

operator bool()

Result::operator bool ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if this result indicates a success.

This is equivalent to calling wasOk().

operator!()

bool Result::operator! ( ) const

noexcept

Returns true if this result indicates a failure.

This is equivalent to calling failed().

getErrorMessage()

const String& Result::getErrorMessage ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the error message that was set when this result was created.

For a successful result, this will be an empty string;
