Detailed Description

Solver interface supporting storage and description of the latest error.

Error codes: Zero (0) indicates no error, positive error codes indicate more of a warning (e.g. a degraded solution, but motion can continue), and negative error codes indicate failure (e.g. a singularity, and motion can not continue).

Error codes between -99 and +99 (inclusive) are reserved for system-wide error codes. Derived classes should use values > +100, and < -100.

Example use

 class MySolver : public SolverI
 {
 public:
    static const int E_CHILDFAILD = xxx;

    MySolver(SomeOtherSolver& other);
    virtual ~MySolver();
          int CartToJnt(...);
    virtual const char* strError(const int error) const;
 protected:
    SomeOtherSolver& child;
 };

 ...

 int MySolver::CartToJnt(...)
 {
     error = child->SomeCall();
     if (E_NOERROR != error) {
         error = E_CHILDFAILED;
     } else {
         ...
     }
     return error;
 }

 const char* MySolver::strError(const int error) const
 {
     if (E_CHILDFAILED == error) return "Child solver failed";
     else return SolverI::strError(error);
 }

 void someFunc()
 {
     SomeOtherSolver child = new SomeOtherSolver(...);
     MySolver parent = new MySolver(child);
     ...
     int rc = parent->CartToJnt(...);
     if (E_NOERROR != rc) {
         if (MySolver::E_CHILDFAILED == rc) {
             rc = child->getError();
             // cope with child failure 'rc'
         }
     }
     ...
 }

E_SIZE_MISMATCH	Input size does not match internal state.
E_MAX_ITERATIONS_EXCEEDED	Maximum number of iterations exceeded.
E_OUT_OF_RANGE	Requested index out of range.
E_NOT_IMPLEMENTED	Not yet implemented.
