Type Alias CompileError 

pub type CompileError = DiagnosticWrapper<ErrorKind>;

A compilation error with optional source location information.

Some errors (like NoMainFunction or LinkError) don’t have a meaningful source location. Use has_span() to check before rendering location info.

Errors can include rich diagnostic information using the builder methods:

CompileError::new(ErrorKind::TypeMismatch { ... }, span)
    .with_label("expected because of this", other_span)
    .with_note("types must match exactly")
    .with_help("consider adding a type conversion")

Aliased Type

pub struct CompileError {
    pub kind: ErrorKind,
    /* private fields */
}

Fields

kind: ErrorKind

The specific kind of diagnostic.

Implementations

impl CompileError

pub fn at(kind: ErrorKind, pos: u32) -> Self

Create an error at a specific position (zero-length span).

Trait Implementations

impl From<CompileErrors> for CompileError

fn from(errors: CompileErrors) -> Self

Convert a collection to a single error.

Uses the first error in the collection. If the collection is empty, returns an internal error (this indicates a compiler bug).
