static void defaultHandlerCB (const SoError *error, void *userdata)

The SoError class is the base class for all the error handling classes.

The default error handler just prints messages on the standard error output channel, but this can be overridden by client applications.

Being able to override the default handler is useful when you want to collect error messages upon e.g. model import for later presentation of the messages to the user in any custom manner (like for instance in a GUI message box).

The SoError class is not designed to be particularly useful for 'direct use'. Within the Coin library it is only used through its subclasses.

The default destructor does nothing.

This method sets the error handler callback for messages posted via this class.

Note that this will not override the error/debug message handler for subclasses, these will have to be overridden by calling the subclass' setHandlerCallback() method.

See also

defaultHandlerCB()

Returns the error handler callback for messages posted via this class.

This method returns the pointer used for passing data back to the callback handler method.

This method returns an SbString containing error info from the given error instance.

SoType SoError::getClassTypeId (void ) [static]

This static method returns the SoType for this class.

See also

getTypeId()

SoType SoError::getTypeId (void ) const [virtual]

This method returns the SoType of a particular object instance.

See also

getClassTypeId()

Reimplemented in SoDebugError, SoMemoryError, and SoReadError.

This method returns TRUE if the error instance is of - or derived from - type, and FALSE otherwise.

This method posts an error message. The format string and the trailing arguments should follow the printf() standard.

SbString SoError::getString (const SoNode *const node) [static]

Constructs a string identifying the node with name (if available) and memory pointer.

SbString SoError::getString (const SoPath *const path) [static]

Constructs a string identifying the path with name (if available) and memory pointer.

SbString SoError::getString (const SoEngine *const engine) [static]

Constructs a string identifying the engine with name (if available) and memory pointer.

This method takes care of initializing all static data for the class.

This static method initializes all the SoError classes.

Contains the default code for handling error strings.

Default treatment of an error message is to print it out on the standard error file handle.

This is just a convenience wrapper around the getHandlerCallback() and getHandlerData() methods.

Reimplemented in SoDebugError, SoMemoryError, and SoReadError.

Replace the latest stored debug string with str.

Add str at the end of the currently stored debug string.

This method calls the appropriate handler for an error instance. All error handling goes through this method, and is therefore a good candidate for a debugger breakpoint.
