sile / trackable

Rust library provides a way to track objects manually as an alternative to mechanisms like backtracing

trackable

trackable provides functionalities to define trackable objects and track those.

Documentation

Below code is an example that tracks failure of an I/O operation:

#[macro_use]
extern crate trackable;

use trackable::error::Failure;

fn foo() -> Result<(), Failure> {
    track!(std::fs::File::open("/path/to/non_existent_file").map_err(Failure::from_error))?;
    Ok(())
}
fn bar() -> Result<(), Failure> {
    track!(foo())?;
    Ok(())
}
fn baz() -> Result<(), Failure> {
    track!(bar())?;
    Ok(())
}

fn main() {
    let result = baz();
    assert!(result.is_err());

    let error = result.err().unwrap();
    assert_eq!(format!("\r{}", error), r#"
Failed (cause; No such file or directory)

}

This example used the built-in Failure type, but you can easily define your own trackable error types. See the documentaion of error module for more details.
