//! Utilities for enriching error handling with [`tracing`] diagnostic
//! information.
//!
//! # Overview
//!
//! [`tracing`] is a framework for instrumenting Rust programs to collect
//! scoped, structured, and async-aware diagnostics. This crate provides
//! integrations between [`tracing`] instrumentation and Rust error handling. It
//! enables enriching error types with diagnostic information from `tracing`
//! [span] contexts, formatting those contexts when errors are displayed, and
//! automatically generate `tracing` [events] when errors occur.
//!
//! The crate provides the following:
//!
//! * [`SpanTrace`], a captured trace of the current `tracing` [span] context
//!
//! * [`ErrorLayer`], a [subscriber layer] which enables capturing `SpanTrace`s
//!
//! **Note**: This crate is currently experimental.
//!
//! *Compiler support: requires `rustc` 1.39+*
//!
//! ## Feature Flags
//!
//! - `traced-error` - Enables the [`TracedError`] type and related Traits
//! - [`InstrumentResult`] and [`InstrumentError`] extension traits, which
//! provide an [`in_current_span()`] method for bundling errors with a
//! [`SpanTrace`].
//! - [`ExtractSpanTrace`] extension trait, for extracting `SpanTrace`s from
//! behind `dyn Error` trait objects.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! `tracing-error` provides the [`SpanTrace`] type, which captures the current
//! `tracing` span context when it is constructed and allows it to be displayed
//! at a later time.
//!
//! For example:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::{fmt, error::Error};
//! use tracing_error::SpanTrace;
//!
//! #[derive(Debug)]
//! pub struct MyError {
//! context: SpanTrace,
//! // ...
//! }
//!
//! impl fmt::Display for MyError {
//! fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result {
//! // ... format other parts of the error ...
//!
//! self.context.fmt(f)?;
//!
//! // ... format other error context information, cause chain, etc ...
//! # Ok(())
//! }
//! }
//!
//! impl Error for MyError {}
//!
//! impl MyError {
//! pub fn new() -> Self {
//! Self {
//! context: SpanTrace::capture(),
//! // ... other error information ...
//! }
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This crate also provides the [`InstrumentResult`] and [`InstrumentError`]
//! traits, which can be used to wrap errors with a [`TracedError`] which
//! bundles the inner error with a [`SpanTrace`].
//!
//! ```rust
//! # use std::error::Error;
//! use tracing_error::prelude::*;
//!
//! # fn fake_main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn Error>> {
//! std::fs::read_to_string("myfile.txt").in_current_span()?;
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! Once an error has been wrapped with with a [`TracedError`] the [`SpanTrace`]
//! can be extracted one of 3 ways: either via [`TracedError`]'s
//! `Display`/`Debug` implementations, or via the [`ExtractSpanTrace`] trait.
//!
//! For example, here is how one might print the errors but specialize the
//! printing when the error is a placeholder for a wrapping [`SpanTrace`]:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::error::Error;
//! use tracing_error::ExtractSpanTrace as _;
//!
//! fn print_extracted_spantraces(error: &(dyn Error + 'static)) {
//! let mut error = Some(error);
//! let mut ind = 0;
//!
//! eprintln!("Error:");
//!
//! while let Some(err) = error {
//! if let Some(spantrace) = err.span_trace() {
//! eprintln!("found a spantrace:\n{}", spantrace);
//! } else {
//! eprintln!("{:>4}: {}", ind, err);
//! }
//!
//! error = err.source();
//! ind += 1;
//! }
//! }
//!
//! ```
//!
//! Whereas here, we can still display the content of the `SpanTraces` without
//! any special casing by simply printing all errors in our error chain.
//!
//! ```rust
//! use std::error::Error;
//!
//! fn print_naive_spantraces(error: &(dyn Error + 'static)) {
//! let mut error = Some(error);
//! let mut ind = 0;
//!
//! eprintln!("Error:");
//!
//! while let Some(err) = error {
//! eprintln!("{:>4}: {}", ind, err);
//! error = err.source();
//! ind += 1;
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! Applications that wish to use `tracing-error`-enabled errors should
//! construct an [`ErrorLayer`] and add it to their [`Subscriber`] in order to
//! enable capturing [`SpanTrace`]s. For example:
//!
//! ```rust
//! use tracing_error::ErrorLayer;
//! use tracing_subscriber::prelude::*;
//!
//! fn main() {
//! let subscriber = tracing_subscriber::Registry::default()
//! // any number of other subscriber layers may be added before or
//! // after the `ErrorLayer`...
//! .with(ErrorLayer::default());
//!
//! // set the subscriber as the default for the application
//! tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber);
//! }
//! ```
