Macro forward_error

macro_rules! forward_error {
    ($ty:ty) => { ... };
    ($ty:ty => $field:ident) => { ... };
}

Implements Error for structs and forwards the source implementation to one of its fields.

Emitted code is not compatible with #[no_std].

Newtype structs can omit the field identifier.

Examples

For newtype struct:

use std::error::Error as _;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyError(eyre::Report);

impl_more::forward_display!(MyError);
impl_more::forward_error!(MyError);

let err = MyError(eyre::eyre!("something went wrong"));
assert_eq!(err.source().unwrap().to_string(), "something went wrong");

For struct with named field:

use std::error::Error as _;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct MyError {
    cause: eyre::Report,
}

impl_more::forward_display!(MyError => cause);
impl_more::forward_error!(MyError => cause);

let err = MyError { cause: eyre::eyre!("something went wrong") };
assert_eq!(err.source().unwrap().to_string(), "something went wrong");

This macro does not yet support use with generic error wrappers.
