// This file contains classes for returning a successful result along with an optional
// arbitrarily typed return value or for returning a failure result along with an optional string
// indicating why the function failed.

// There are 3 classes that implement this functionality and one additional helper type.
//
// Result<T> either contains a member of type T that can be accessed using similar semantics as
// std::optional<T> or it contains a ResultError describing an error, which can be accessed via
// Result<T>::error().
//
// ResultError is a type that contains both a std::string describing the error and a copy of errno
// from when the error occurred.  ResultError can be used in an ostream directly to print its
// string value.
//
// Success is a typedef that aids in creating Result<T> that do not contain a return value.
// Result<Success> is the correct return type for a function that either returns successfully or
// returns an error value.  Returning Success() from a function that returns Result<Success> is the
// correct way to indicate that a function without a return type has completed successfully.
//
// A successful Result<T> is constructed implicitly from any type that can be implicitly converted
// to T or from the constructor arguments for T.  This allows you to return a type T directly from
// a function that returns Result<T>.
//
// Error and ErrnoError are used to construct a Result<T> that has failed.  The Error class takes
// an ostream as an input and are implicitly cast to a Result<T> containing that failure.
// ErrnoError() is a helper function to create an Error class that appends ": " + strerror(errno)
// to the end of the failure string to aid in interacting with C APIs.  Alternatively, an errno
// value can be directly specified via the Error() constructor.
//
// ResultError can be used in the ostream when using Error to construct a Result<T>.  In this case,
// the string that the ResultError takes is passed through the stream normally, but the errno is
// passed to the Result<T>.  This can be used to pass errno from a failing C function up multiple
// callers.
//
// ResultError can also directly construct a Result<T>.  This is particularly useful if you have a
// function that return Result<T> but you have a Result<U> and want to return its error.  In this
// case, you can return the .error() from the Result<U> to construct the Result<T>.

// An example of how to use these is below:
// Result<U> CalculateResult(const T& input) {
//   U output;
//   if (!SomeOtherCppFunction(input, &output)) {
//     return Error() << "SomeOtherCppFunction(" << input << ") failed";
//   }
//   if (!c_api_function(output)) {
//     return ErrnoError() << "c_api_function(" << output << ") failed";
//   }
//   return output;
// }
//
// auto output = CalculateResult(input);
// if (!output) return Error() << "CalculateResult failed: " << output.error();
// UseOutput(*output);
