All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

Direct Known Subclasses:

Compiler.ParseError, Compiler.PreciseError, Compiler.SemanticError, Compiler.Warning

Enclosing class:

Compiler

public abstract static class Compiler.Error

extends Object

implements Serializable

A single error generated by a compiler. This is not an exception, but rather a message that can be passed in an exception (and across a network connection too.)

This class is both abstract and not directly subclass-able. If you want an instance of it, you will need to see the already extant subclasses of this class.

Field Detail

line

public final int line

Where did this error happen. This is an approximate location.

message

public final String message

What was the error. The standard error handler in the client will format this string differently from the detail field.

detail

public final String[] detail

Anything else of interest relating to the error. You might wish to put details of how you are recovering from the problem (if at all) in this. You may expect that each of the strings in the array will be formatted as a separate line.

Method Detail

toTclString

public String toTclString()

Convert to a form that is convenient for transferring to a Tcl interpreter.

Returns:

A Tcl-formatted list whose first member is the line field in this object, whose second member is the message field in this object, and whose third argument is a list of detail strings (built from the detail field in this class.)
