Functions | |
| void | error (const char *format,...) | 
| To generate a fatal compile-time error, you can use the pre-processor error directive.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_warning (mbed_error_status_t error_status, const char *error_msg, unsigned int error_value, const char *filename, int line_number) | 
| Call this function to set a system error/warning.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_get_first_error (void) | 
| Returns the first system error reported.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_get_last_error (void) | 
| Returns the most recent system error reported.   | |
| int | mbed_get_error_count (void) | 
| Returns the number of system errors reported after boot.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_error (mbed_error_status_t error_status, const char *error_msg, unsigned int error_value, const char *filename, int line_number) | 
| Call this function to set a fatal system error and halt the system.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_set_error_hook (mbed_error_hook_t custom_error_hook) | 
| Registers an application defined error callback with the error handling system.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_get_first_error_info (mbed_error_ctx *error_info) | 
| Reads the first error context information captured.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_get_last_error_info (mbed_error_ctx *error_info) | 
| Reads the last error context information captured.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_clear_all_errors (void) | 
| Clears the last error, first error, error count and all entries in the error history.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_make_error (mbed_error_type_t error_type, mbed_module_type_t module, mbed_error_code_t error_code) | 
| Generates a mbed_error_status_t value based on passed in values for type, module and error code.   | |
| int | mbed_get_error_hist_count (void) | 
| Returns the current number of entries in the error history, if there has been more than max number of errors logged the number returned will be max depth of error history.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_get_error_hist_info (int index, mbed_error_ctx *error_info) | 
| Reads the error context information for a specific error from error history, specified by the index.   | |
| mbed_error_status_t | mbed_save_error_hist (const char *path) | 
| Saves the error history information to a file.   | |

mbed_error_code_t definition
mbed_error_code_t enumeration defines the Error codes and Error status values for MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN.
 It defines all of Posix Error Codes/Statuses and Mbed System Error Codes/Statuses.
- Note:
 - Posix Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR
For example MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR( EPERM, EPERM ). This effectively defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_EPERM = EPERM
ERROR_EPERM = -EPERM
 
Posix Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR
 For example MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR( EPERM, EPERM ). This macro defines the following values:
 ERROR_CODE_EPERM = MBED_POSIX_ERROR_BASE+EPERM
 ERROR_EPERM = -(MBED_POSIX_ERROR_BASE+EPERM)
 Its effectively equivalent to:
 ERROR_CODE_EPERM = 1
 ERROR_EPERM = -1
 All Posix error codes currently supported by MbedOS(defined in mbed_retarget.h) are defined using the MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR macro.
 Below are the Posic error codes and the description:
 
    EPERM                      1        Operation not permitted

    - Note:
 - MbedOS System Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR
For example MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR( INVALID_ARGUMENT ,1 ) macro defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = MBED_SYSTEM_ERROR_BASE+1
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT = MAKE_MBED_ERROR(ERROR_TYPE_SYSTEM, MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN, ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT)
Its effectively equivalent to:
ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 1
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 0x80FF0001
(Note that MODULE field is set to MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN) New System Error codes should be defined using MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR macro and must have an unique error code value
passed as the second argument in the MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR macro.
Below are the Mbed System error codes and the description:UNKNOWN 256 Unknown error INVALID_ARGUMENT 257 Invalid Argument INVALID_DATA 258 Invalid data INVALID_FORMAT 259 Invalid format INVALID_INDEX 260 Invalid Index INVALID_SIZE 261 Inavlid Size INVALID_OPERATION 262 Invalid Operation NOT_FOUND 263 Not Found ACCESS_DENIED 264 Access Denied NOT_SUPPORTED 265 Not supported BUFFER_FULL 266 Buffer Full MEDIA_FULL 267 Media/Disk Full ALREADY_IN_USE 268 Already in use TIMEOUT 269 Timeout error NOT_READY 270 Not Ready FAILED_OPERATION 271 Requested Operation failed OPERATION_PROHIBITED 272 Operation prohibited OPERATION_ABORTED 273 Operation failed WRITE_PROTECTED 274 Attempt to write to write-protected resource NO_RESPONSE 275 No response SEMAPHORE_LOCK_FAILED 276 Sempahore lock failed MUTEX_LOCK_FAILED 277 Mutex lock failed SEMAPHORE_UNLOCK_FAILED 278 Sempahore unlock failed MUTEX_UNLOCK_FAILED 279 Mutex unlock failed CRC_ERROR 280 CRC error or mismatch OPEN_FAILED 281 Open failed CLOSE_FAILED 282 Close failed READ_FAILED 283 Read failed WRITE_FAILED 284 Write failed INITIALIZATION_FAILED 285 Initialization failed BOOT_FAILURE 286 Boot failure OUT_OF_MEMORY 287 Out of memory OUT_OF_RESOURCES 288 Out of resources ALLOC_FAILED 289 Alloc failed FREE_FAILED 290 Free failed OVERFLOW 291 Overflow error UNDERFLOW 292 Underflow error STACK_OVERFLOW 293 Stack overflow error ISR_QUEUE_OVERFLOW 294 ISR queue overflow TIMER_QUEUE_OVERFLOW 295 Timer Queue overflow CLIB_SPACE_UNAVAILABLE 296 Standard library error - Space unavailable CLIB_EXCEPTION 297 Standard library error - Exception CLIB_MUTEX_INIT_FAILURE 298 Standard library error - Mutex Init failure CREATE_FAILED 299 Create failed DELETE_FAILED 300 Delete failed THREAD_CREATE_FAILED 301 Thread Create failed THREAD_DELETE_FAILED 302 Thread Delete failed PROHIBITED_IN_ISR_CONTEXT 303 Operation Prohibited in ISR context PINMAP_INVALID 304 Pinmap Invalid RTOS_EVENT 305 Unknown Rtos Error RTOS_THREAD_EVENT 306 Rtos Thread Error RTOS_MUTEX_EVENT 307 Rtos Mutex Error RTOS_SEMAPHORE_EVENT 308 Rtos Semaphore Error RTOS_MEMORY_POOL_EVENT 309 Rtos Memory Pool Error RTOS_TIMER_EVENT 310 Rtos Timer Error RTOS_EVENT_FLAGS_EVENT 311 Rtos Event flags Error RTOS_MESSAGE_QUEUE_EVENT 312 Rtos Message queue Error DEVICE_BUSY 313 Device Busy CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED 314 Configuration not supported CONFIG_MISMATCH 315 Configuration mismatch ALREADY_INITIALIZED 316 Already initialzied HARDFAULT_EXCEPTION 317 HardFault exception MEMMANAGE_EXCEPTION 318 MemManage exception BUSFAULT_EXCEPTION 319 BusFault exception USAGEFAULT_EXCEPTION 320 UsageFault exception - 
Custom Error codes can be defined using the macro DEFINE_CUSTOM_ERROR
This is mainly meant to capture non-generic error codes specific to a device. For example DEFINE_CUSTOM_ERROR( MY_CUSTOM_ERROR ,1 ) macro defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = MBED_CUSTOM_ERROR_BASE+1
ERROR_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = MAKE_MBED_ERROR(ERROR_TYPE_CUSTOM, MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN, ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR)
Its effectively equivalent to:
ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = 4097
ERROR_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = 0xA0FF1001
(Note that MODULE field is set to MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN)

**Using error codes:** 
Posix error codes may be used in modules/functions currently using Posix error codes and switching them to Mbed-OS error codes may cause interoperability issues. For example, some of the filesystem, network stack implementations may need to use Posix error codes in order to keep them compatible with other modules interfacing with them, and may continue to use Posix error codes. 
In all other cases, like for any native development of Mbed-OS modules Mbed-OS error codes should be used. This makes it easy to use Mbed-OS error reporting/logging infrastructure and makes debugging error scenarios much more efficient.
- Note:
 - **Searching for error codes in mbed-os source tree:** 
If you get an error report as below which you want to search for in mbed-os source tree, first take note of "Error Code" number.
For example, the below error report has an error code of 259. Find the error name associated with the error code and in this case its INVALID_FORMAT.
Use that error name(INVALID_FORMAT) to search the source tree for code locations setting that specific error code.
If the Error module reported is not 255(which indicates unknown module), you can also use that to narrow down to the specific component reporting the error. See mbed_module_type_t enum above for module mapping.

mbed_error_status_t description
mbed_error_status_t type represents the error status values under MbedOS. mbed_error_status_t values are signed integers and always be negative.
 Internally its encoded as below with bit-fields representing error type, module and error code:
 mbed_error_status_t Status Encoding:
| 31 Always Negative | 30-29(2 bits) | 28-24 | 23-16(8 bits) | 15-0(16 bits) | | -1 | TYPE | (unused/reserved) | MODULE TYPE | ERROR CODE |
The error status value range for each error type is as follows:
 Posix Error Status-es - 0xFFFFFFFF to 0xFFFFFF01(-1 -255) - This corresponds to Posix error codes represented as negative.
 System Error Status-es - 0x80XX0100 to 0x80XX0FFF - This corresponds to System error codes range(all values are negative). Bits 23-16 will be module type(marked with XX)
 Custom Error Status-es - 0xA0XX1000 to 0xA0XXFFFF - This corresponds to Custom error codes range(all values are negative). Bits 23-16 will be module type(marked with XX)
The ERROR CODE(values encoded into ERROR CODE bit-field in mbed_error_status_t) value range for each error type is also seperated as below:
 Posix Error Codes - 1 to 255.
 System Error Codes - 256 to 4095.
 Custom Error Codes - 4096 to 65535.
- Note:
 - Posix error codes are always encoded as negative of their actual value. For example, EPERM is encoded as -EPERM. And, the MODULE TYPE for Posix error codes are always encoded as MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN.
This is to enable easy injection of Posix error codes into MbedOS error handling system without altering the actual Posix error values.
Accordingly, Posix error codes are represented as -1 to -255 under MbedOS error status representation.

mbed_error_type_t definition
- Note:
 - This enumeration defines the Error types supported. The value of these enum values will be encoded into mbed_error_status_t TYPE field.
See mbed_error_status_t description for more info.
MBED_ERROR_TYPE_SYSTEM - Used to indicate that the error status is of System defined Error type.
MBED_ERROR_TYPE_CUSTOM - Used to indicate that the error status is of Custom defined Error type.
MBED_ERROR_TYPE_POSIX - Used to indicate that the error status is of Posix error type.

mbed_module_type_t definition
- Note:
 - This enumeration defines the module types. The value of these enum values will be encoded into mbed_error_status_t MODULE field.
See mbed_error_status_t description for more info.
MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN - This module type can be used if caller of the mbed_error/mbed_warning doesn't know who is the actual originator of the error.
Other module values can be used to provide more info on who/where the error originated from.
For example, if I2C driver is the component originating the error you can use MBED_MODULE_DRIVER_I2C to provide more info.
Its used in call to MBED_MAKE_ERROR/MBED_MAKE_SYSTEM_ERROR/MBED_MAKE_CUSTOM_ERROR macros.
 
Example: mbed_error_status_t i2c_driver_error = MBED_MAKE_ERROR( MBED_MODULE_DRIVER_I2C, MBED_ERROR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED );

| enum _mbed_error_code | 
mbed_error_code_t definition
mbed_error_code_t enumeration defines the Error codes and Error status values for MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN.
 It defines all of Posix Error Codes/Statuses and Mbed System Error Codes/Statuses.
- Note:
 - Posix Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR
For example MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR( EPERM, EPERM ). This effectively defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_EPERM = EPERM
ERROR_EPERM = -EPERM
 
Posix Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR
 For example MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR( EPERM, EPERM ). This macro defines the following values:
 ERROR_CODE_EPERM = MBED_POSIX_ERROR_BASE+EPERM
 ERROR_EPERM = -(MBED_POSIX_ERROR_BASE+EPERM)
 Its effectively equivalent to:
 ERROR_CODE_EPERM = 1
 ERROR_EPERM = -1
 All Posix error codes currently supported by MbedOS(defined in mbed_retarget.h) are defined using the MBED_DEFINE_POSIX_ERROR macro.
 Below are the Posic error codes and the description:
 
    EPERM                      1        Operation not permitted

    - Note:
 - MbedOS System Error codes are defined using the macro MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR
For example MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR( INVALID_ARGUMENT ,1 ) macro defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = MBED_SYSTEM_ERROR_BASE+1
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT = MAKE_MBED_ERROR(ERROR_TYPE_SYSTEM, MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN, ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT)
Its effectively equivalent to:
ERROR_CODE_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 1
ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT = 0x80FF0001
(Note that MODULE field is set to MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN) New System Error codes should be defined using MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR macro and must have an unique error code value
passed as the second argument in the MBED_DEFINE_SYSTEM_ERROR macro.

Custom Error codes can be defined using the macro DEFINE_CUSTOM_ERROR
This is mainly meant to capture non-generic error codes specific to a device. For example DEFINE_CUSTOM_ERROR( MY_CUSTOM_ERROR ,1 ) macro defines the following values:
ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = MBED_CUSTOM_ERROR_BASE+1
ERROR_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = MAKE_MBED_ERROR(ERROR_TYPE_CUSTOM, MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN, ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR)
Its effectively equivalent to:
ERROR_CODE_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = 4097
ERROR_MY_CUSTOM_ERROR = 0xA0FF1001
(Note that MODULE field is set to MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN)

**Using error codes:** 
Posix error codes may be used in modules/functions currently using Posix error codes and switching them to Mbed-OS error codes may cause interoperability issues. For example, some of the filesystem, network stack implementations may need to use Posix error codes in order to keep them compatible with other modules interfacing with them, and may continue to use Posix error codes. 
In all other cases, like for any native development of Mbed-OS modules Mbed-OS error codes should be used. This makes it easy to use Mbed-OS error reporting/logging infrastructure and makes debugging error scenarios much more efficient.
- Note:
 - **Searching for error codes in mbed-os source tree:** 
If you get an error report as below which you want to search for in mbed-os source tree, first take note of "Error Code" number.
For example, the below error report has an error code of 259. Find the error name associated with the error code and in this case its INVALID_FORMAT.
Use that error name(INVALID_FORMAT) to search the source tree for code locations setting that specific error code.
If the Error module reported is not 255(which indicates unknown module), you can also use that to narrow down to the specific component reporting the error. See mbed_module_type_t enum above for module mapping.

mbed_module_type_t definition
- Note:
 - This enumeration defines the module types. The value of these enum values will be encoded into mbed_error_status_t MODULE field.
See mbed_error_status_t description for more info.
MBED_MODULE_UNKNOWN - This module type can be used if caller of the mbed_error/mbed_warning doesn't know who is the actual originator of the error.
Other module values can be used to provide more info on who/where the error originated from.
For example, if I2C driver is the component originating the error you can use MBED_MODULE_DRIVER_I2C to provide more info.
Its used in call to MBED_MAKE_ERROR/MBED_MAKE_SYSTEM_ERROR/MBED_MAKE_CUSTOM_ERROR macros.
 
Example: mbed_error_status_t i2c_driver_error = MBED_MAKE_ERROR( MBED_MODULE_DRIVER_I2C, MBED_ERROR_CONFIG_UNSUPPORTED );

Function Documentation
| void error | ( | const char * | format, | 
| ... | |||
| ) | 
To generate a fatal compile-time error, you can use the pre-processor error directive.
- Parameters:
 - 
  
format C string that contains data stream to be printed. Code snippets below show valid format.  
 #error "That shouldn't have happened!"
If the compiler evaluates this line, it will report the error and stop the compile.
For example, you could use this to check some user-defined compile-time variables:
#define NUM_PORTS 7 #if (NUM_PORTS > 4) #error "NUM_PORTS must be less than 4" #endif
Reporting Run-Time Errors: To generate a fatal run-time error, you can use the mbed error() function.
error("That shouldn't have happened!");
If the mbed running the program executes this function, it will print the message via the USB serial port, and then die with the blue lights of death!
The message can use printf-style formatting, so you can report variables in the message too. For example, you could use this to check a run-time condition:
if(x >= 5) { error("expected x to be less than 5, but got %d", x); }
