//!
//! This library provides [`anyhow::Error`][Error], a trait object based error
//! type for easy idiomatic error handling in Rust applications.
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # Details
//!
//! - Use `Result<T, anyhow::Error>`, or equivalently `anyhow::Result<T>`, as
//!   the return type of any fallible function.
//!
//!   Within the function, use `?` to easily propagate any error that implements
//!   the `std::error::Error` trait.
//!
//!   ```
//!   # pub trait Deserialize {}
//!   #
//!   # mod serde_json {
//!   #     use super::Deserialize;
//!   #     use std::io;
//!   #
//!   #     pub fn from_str<T: Deserialize>(json: &str) -> io::Result<T> {
//!   #         unimplemented!()
//!   #     }
//!   # }
//!   #
//!   # struct ClusterMap;
//!   #
//!   # impl Deserialize for ClusterMap {}
//!   #
//!   use anyhow::Result;
//!
//!   fn get_cluster_info() -> Result<ClusterMap> {
//!       let config = std::fs::read_to_string("cluster.json")?;
//!       let map: ClusterMap = serde_json::from_str(&config)?;
//!       Ok(map)
//!   }
//!   #
//!   # fn main() {}
//!   ```
//!
//! - Attach context to help the person troubleshooting the error understand
//!   where things went wrong. A low-level error like "No such file or
//!   directory" can be annoying to debug without more context about what higher
//!   level step the application was in the middle of.
//!
//!   ```
//!   # struct It;
//!   #
//!   # impl It {
//!   #     fn detach(&self) -> Result<()> {
//!   #         unimplemented!()
//!   #     }
//!   # }
//!   #
//!   use anyhow::{Context, Result};
//!
//!   fn main() -> Result<()> {
//!       # return Ok(());
//!       #
//!       # const _: &str = stringify! {
//!       ...
//!       # };
//!       #
//!       # let it = It;
//!       # let path = "./path/to/instrs.json";
//!       #
//!       it.detach().context("Failed to detach the important thing")?;
//!
//!       let content = std::fs::read(path)
//!           .with_context(|| format!("Failed to read instrs from {}", path))?;
//!       #
//!       # const _: &str = stringify! {
//!       ...
//!       # };
//!       #
//!       # Ok(())
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//!   ```console
//!   Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
//!
//!   Caused by:
//!       No such file or directory (os error 2)
//!   ```
//!
//! - Downcasting is supported and can be by value, by shared reference, or by
//!   mutable reference as needed.
//!
//!   ```
//!   # use anyhow::anyhow;
//!   # use std::fmt::{self, Display};
//!   # use std::task::Poll;
//!   #
//!   # #[derive(Debug)]
//!   # enum DataStoreError {
//!   #     Censored(()),
//!   # }
//!   #
//!   # impl Display for DataStoreError {
//!   #     fn fmt(&self, formatter: &mut fmt::Formatter) -> fmt::Result {
//!   #         unimplemented!()
//!   #     }
//!   # }
//!   #
//!   # impl std::error::Error for DataStoreError {}
//!   #
//!   # const REDACTED_CONTENT: () = ();
//!   #
//!   # let error = anyhow!("...");
//!   # let root_cause = &error;
//!   #
//!   # let ret =
//!   // If the error was caused by redaction, then return a
//!   // tombstone instead of the content.
//!   match root_cause.downcast_ref::<DataStoreError>() {
//!       Some(DataStoreError::Censored(_)) => Ok(Poll::Ready(REDACTED_CONTENT)),
//!       None => Err(error),
//!   }
//!   # ;
//!   ```
//!
//! - If using the nightly channel, or stable with `features = ["backtrace"]`, a
//!   backtrace is captured and printed with the error if the underlying error
//!   type does not already provide its own. In order to see backtraces, they
//!   must be enabled through the environment variables described in
//!   [`std::backtrace`]:
//!
//!   - If you want panics and errors to both have backtraces, set
//!     `RUST_BACKTRACE=1`;
//!   - If you want only errors to have backtraces, set `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=1`;
//!   - If you want only panics to have backtraces, set `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` and
//!     `RUST_LIB_BACKTRACE=0`.
//!
//!   The tracking issue for this feature is [rust-lang/rust#53487].
//!
//!   [`std::backtrace`]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/backtrace/index.html#environment-variables
//!   [rust-lang/rust#53487]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53487
//!
//! - Anyhow works with any error type that has an impl of `std::error::Error`,
//!   including ones defined in your crate. We do not bundle a `derive(Error)`
//!   macro but you can write the impls yourself or use a standalone macro like
//!   [thiserror].
//!
//!   [thiserror]: https://github.com/dtolnay/thiserror
//!
//!   ```
//!   use thiserror::Error;
//!
//!   #[derive(Error, Debug)]
//!   pub enum FormatError {
//!       #[error("Invalid header (expected {expected:?}, got {found:?})")]
//!       InvalidHeader {
//!           expected: String,
//!           found: String,
//!       },
//!       #[error("Missing attribute: {0}")]
//!       MissingAttribute(String),
//!   }
//!   ```
//!
//! - One-off error messages can be constructed using the `anyhow!` macro, which
//!   supports string interpolation and produces an `anyhow::Error`.
//!
//!   ```
//!   # use anyhow::{anyhow, Result};
//!   #
//!   # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
//!   #     let missing = "...";
//!   return Err(anyhow!("Missing attribute: {}", missing));
//!   #     Ok(())
//!   # }
//!   ```
//!
//!   A `bail!` macro is provided as a shorthand for the same early return.
//!
//!   ```
//!   # use anyhow::{bail, Result};
//!   #
//!   # fn demo() -> Result<()> {
//!   #     let missing = "...";
//!   bail!("Missing attribute: {}", missing);
//!   #     Ok(())
//!   # }
//!   ```
//!
//! <br>
//!
//! # No-std support
//!
//! In no_std mode, the same API is almost all available and works the same way.
//! To depend on Anyhow in no_std mode, disable our default enabled "std"
//! feature in Cargo.toml. A global allocator is required.
//!
//! ```toml
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = { version = "1.0", default-features = false }
//! ```
//!
//! Since the `?`-based error conversions would normally rely on the
//! `std::error::Error` trait which is only available through std, no_std mode
//! will require an explicit `.map_err(Error::msg)` when working with a
//! non-Anyhow error type inside a function that returns Anyhow's error type.

/// The `Error` type, a wrapper around a dynamic error type.
///
/// `Error` works a lot like `Box<dyn std::error::Error>`, but with these
/// differences:
///
/// - `Error` requires that the error is `Send`, `Sync`, and `'static`.
/// - `Error` guarantees that a backtrace is available, even if the underlying
///   error type does not provide one.

///   size instead of two.
///
/// <br>
///
/// # Display representations
///
/// When you print an error object using "{}" or to_string(), only the outermost

/// which you constructed your anyhow::Error.
///
/// ```console
/// Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
/// ```

/// To print causes as well using anyhow's default formatting of causes, use the
/// alternate selector "{:#}".
///
/// ```console
/// Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json: No such file or directory (os error 2)
/// ```
///
/// The Debug format "{:?}" includes your backtrace if one was captured. Note
/// that this is the representation you get by default if you return an error
/// from `fn main` instead of printing it explicitly yourself.
///
/// ```console
/// Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
///
/// Caused by:
///     No such file or directory (os error 2)
/// ```
///

///
/// ```console
/// Error: Failed to read instrs from ./path/to/instrs.json
///
/// Caused by:
///     No such file or directory (os error 2)

/// # Effect on downcasting
///
/// After attaching context of type `C` onto an error of type `E`, the resulting
/// `anyhow::Error` may be downcast to `C` **or** to `E`.
///
/// That is, in codebases that rely on downcasting, Anyhow's context supports
/// both of the following use cases:
///
///   - **Attaching context whose type is insignificant onto errors whose type
///     is used in downcasts.**
///
///     In other error libraries whose context is not designed this way, it can
///     be risky to introduce context to existing code because new context might
///     break existing working downcasts. In Anyhow, any downcast that worked
///     before adding context will continue to work after you add a context, so
///     you should freely add human-readable context to errors wherever it would
///     be helpful.
///
///     ```
///     # use anyhow::bail;
///     # use thiserror::Error;
///     #
///     # #[derive(Error, Debug)]
///     # #[error("???")]
///     # struct SuspiciousError;

///     #
///     use anyhow::{Context, Result};
///
///     fn do_it() -> Result<()> {
///         helper().context("Failed to complete the work")?;
///         # const IGNORE: &str = stringify! {
///         ...
///         # };
///         # unreachable!()
///     }
///
///     fn main() {
///         let err = do_it().unwrap_err();
///         if let Some(e) = err.downcast_ref::<SuspiciousError>() {
///             // If helper() returned SuspiciousError, this downcast will
///             // correctly succeed even with the context in between.
///             # return;

///         # panic!("expected downcast to succeed");
///     }
///     ```
///
///   - **Attaching context whose type is used in downcasts onto errors whose
///     type is insignificant.**
///
///     Some codebases prefer to use machine-readable context to categorize
///     lower level errors in a way that will be actionable to higher levels of
