Struct failure::SyncFailure[][src]

pub struct SyncFailure<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

Wrapper for std errors to make them Sync.

This exists to coerce existing types that are only Error + Send + 'static into a Fail-compatible representation, most notably for types generated by error-chain.

Unfortunately, this requires wrapping the error in a Mutex, which must be locked for every Debug/Display. Therefore, this should be something of a last resort in making the error work with failure.

Implementations

impl<E: Error + Send + 'static> SyncFailure<E>[src]

pub fn new(err: E) -> Self[src]

Wraps a non-Sync Error in order to make it implement Fail.

Example

extern crate failure;

use failure::{Error, SyncFailure};
use std::cell::RefCell;

#[derive(Debug)]
struct NonSyncError {
    // RefCells are non-Sync, so structs containing them will be
    // non-Sync as well.
    count: RefCell<usize>,
}

// implement Display/Error for NonSyncError...

fn returns_error() -> Result<(), NonSyncError> {
    // Do stuff
}

fn my_function() -> Result<(), Error> {
    // without the map_err here, we end up with a compile error
    // complaining that NonSyncError doesn't implement Sync.
    returns_error().map_err(SyncFailure::new)?;
    // Do more stuff
}
