      API change: error -> status for exception handling · 0e0fa194
      Jonathan Schöbel authored
      Instead of the trivial structure SH_Error, SH_Status is used. The name
      was chosen, because error/status is set independently whether an error
      has occurred. Beside the error type, it also contains the associated
      errno and an error message. The error message is also printed, when it
      is set. Generating error messages with variadic arguments is now also
      supported.
      There are also macros to check for a set status.
      
      The exception handling was removed for the *_free methods, because they
      can't fail predictably during runtime.
      
      Unfortunately the compiler reports, that inside the macro set_status
      printf may be called with NULL [printf (NULL)], although, this is
      explicitly debarred.

      added test for CMS · 46436e8a
      Jonathan Schöbel authored
      Tests are done using check, allowing to integrate the tests into the
      Autotools.
      Methods that are part of another unit, but are called in this unit
      aren't tested as this would interfere with the idea of unittests. This
      also applies for purely wrapper functions, where a call is passed to
      another unit.

      error handling added · 6a592b8d
      Jonathan Schöbel authored
      Error handling is done by passing an Error structure as inout parameter
      to functions that can fail on runtime predictable. This parameter is
      always the last one. Methods, where this is not the case, doesn't have an
      error parameter.
      When an Error is detected, also an ERROR is passed to the log. Because
      this isn't implemented yet, it is replaced by a nop.
      The macro EXIT becomes now useless. It was used earlier in case of an
      error, to terminate the program in the first place. This behaviour is not
      userfriendly, but it can't be decided on the library's side, whether
      there is an option to inform the user, something must be cleaned up or
      even that recovering is possible at all.
      Often these recognized errors are a non-working malloc or an over-/underflow.
      
      Error handling can be ignored by the caller by passing NULL to the Error
      parameter. Whether an error had occured, is also always possible to be
      determined, by examining the return value. If the error occours in a
      function returning a pointer, NULL will be returned. If it returns an value,
      a special error value of that type is returned, i.e. PAGE_ERR in
      SH_Data_register_page. If the return type would be void, a boolean is returned,
      which tells, whether the method has succeeded.
      (False means, that an error has occured.)
      
      The error may have occured in an intern method and is passed upwards (the stack).
      Internally errors are handled by an enum, but this must be considered an
      implementation detail and can be changed in later versions.
      It is in the responsibility of the caller to recover gracefully. It has
      to be assumed that the requested operation have neither worked, nor
      actually took place. Those the operation can be retried (hopefully).
