//! Traits for working with Errors.
//!
//! # The `Error` trait
//!
//! `Error` is a trait representing the basic expectations for error values,
//! i.e. values of type `E` in `Result<T, E>`. At a minimum, errors must provide
//! a description, but they may optionally provide additional detail (via
//! `Display`) and cause chain information:
//!
//! ```
//! use std::fmt::Display;
//!
//! trait Error: Display {
//!     fn description(&self) -> &str;
//!
//!     fn cause(&self) -> Option<&Error> { None }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! The `cause` method is generally used when errors cross "abstraction
//! boundaries", i.e.  when a one module must report an error that is "caused"
//! by an error from a lower-level module. This setup makes it possible for the
//! high-level module to provide its own errors that do not commit to any
//! particular implementation, but also reveal some of its implementation for
//! debugging via `cause` chains.

#![stable(feature = "rust1", since = "1.0.0")]

// A note about crates and the facade:
//
// Originally, the `Error` trait was defined in libcore, and the impls
// were scattered about. However, coherence objected to this
// arrangement, because to create the blanket impls for `Box` required
// knowing that `&str: !Error`, and we have no means to deal with that
// sort of conflict just now. Therefore, for the time being, we have
// moved the `Error` trait into libstd. As we evolve a sol'n to the
// coherence challenge (e.g., specialization, neg impls, etc) we can
// reconsider what crate these items belong in.
