Function Documentation

void CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL void CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL _CPLAssert ( const char *  pszExpression,
const char *  pszFile,
int  iLine 
)

Report failure of a logical assertion.

Applications would normally use the CPLAssert() macro which expands into code calling _CPLAssert() only if the condition fails. _CPLAssert() will generate a CE_Fatal error call to CPLError(), indicating the file name, and line number of the failed assertion, as well as containing the assertion itself.

There is no reason for application code to call _CPLAssert() directly.

void CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLErrorReset ( void   ) 

Erase any traces of previous errors.

This is normally used to ensure that an error which has been recovered from does not appear to be still in play with high level functions.

const char CPL_DLL* CPL_STDCALL CPLGetLastErrorMsg ( void   ) 

Get the last error message.

Fetches the last error message posted with CPLError(), that hasn't been cleared by CPLErrorReset(). The returned pointer is to an internal string that should not be altered or freed.

Returns:
the last error message, or NULL if there is no posted error message.
int CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLGetLastErrorNo ( void   ) 

Fetch the last error number.

This is the error number, not the error class.

Returns:
the error number of the last error to occur, or CPLE_None (0) if there are no posted errors.
CPLErr CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLGetLastErrorType ( void   ) 

Fetch the last error type.

This is the error class, not the error number.

Returns:
the error number of the last error to occur, or CE_None (0) if there are no posted errors.
void CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLPopErrorHandler ( void   ) 

Pop error handler off stack.

Discards the current error handler on the error handler stack, and restores the one in use before the last CPLPushErrorHandler() call. This method has no effect if there are no error handlers on the current threads error handler stack.

void CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLPushErrorHandler ( CPLErrorHandler  pfnErrorHandlerNew  ) 

Push a new CPLError handler.

This pushes a new error handler on the thread-local error handler stack. This handler will be used untill removed with CPLPopErrorHandler().

The CPLSetErrorHandler() docs have further information on how CPLError handlers work.

Parameters:
pfnErrorHandlerNew new error handler function.
CPLErrorHandler CPL_DLL CPL_STDCALL CPLSetErrorHandler ( CPLErrorHandler  pfnErrorHandlerNew  ) 

Install custom error handler.

Allow the library's user to specify his own error handler function. A valid error handler is a C function with the following prototype:

     void MyErrorHandler(CPLErr eErrClass, int err_no, const char *msg)
 

Pass NULL to come back to the default behavior. The default behaviour (CPLDefaultErrorHandler()) is to write the message to stderr.

The msg will be a partially formatted error message not containing the "ERROR %d:" portion emitted by the default handler. Message formatting is handled by CPLError() before calling the handler. If the error handler function is passed a CE_Fatal class error and returns, then CPLError() will call abort(). Applications wanting to interrupt this fatal behaviour will have to use longjmp(), or a C++ exception to indirectly exit the function.

Another standard error handler is CPLQuietErrorHandler() which doesn't make any attempt to report the passed error or warning messages but will process debug messages via CPLDefaultErrorHandler.

Note that error handlers set with CPLSetErrorHandler() apply to all threads in an application, while error handlers set with CPLPushErrorHandler are thread-local. However, any error handlers pushed with CPLPushErrorHandler (and not removed with CPLPopErrorHandler) take precidence over the global error handlers set with CPLSetErrorHandler(). Generally speaking CPLSetErrorHandler() would be used to set a desired global error handler, while CPLPushErrorHandler() would be used to install a temporary local error handler, such as CPLQuietErrorHandler() to suppress error reporting in a limited segment of code.

Parameters:
pfnErrorHandlerNew new error handler function.
Returns:
returns the previously installed error handler.
