// Package errors provides errors that have stack-traces. // // This is particularly useful when you want to understand the // state of execution when an error was returned unexpectedly. // // It provides the type *Error which implements the standard // golang error interface, so you can use this library interchangably // with code that is expecting a normal error return. // // For example: // // package crashy // // import "github.com/go-errors/errors" // // var Crashed = errors.Errorf("oh dear") // // func Crash() error { // return errors.New(Crashed) // } // // This can be called as follows: // // package main // // import ( // "crashy" // "fmt" // "github.com/go-errors/errors" // ) // // func main() { // err := crashy.Crash() // if err != nil { // if errors.Is(err, crashy.Crashed) { // fmt.Println(err.(*errors.Error).ErrorStack()) // } else { // panic(err) // } // } // } // // This package was original written to allow reporting to Bugsnag, // but after I found similar packages by Facebook and Dropbox, it // was moved to one canonical location so everyone can benefit. package errors import ( "bytes" "fmt" "reflect" "runtime" ) // The maximum number of stackframes on any error. var MaxStackDepth = 50 // Error is an error with an attached stacktrace.
