|
||
<p>After attaching context of type <code>C</code> onto an error of type <code>E</code>, the resulting
|
||
<code>anyhow::Error</code> may be downcast to <code>C</code> <strong>or</strong> to <code>E</code>.</p>
|
||
<p>That is, in codebases that rely on downcasting, Anyhow’s context supports
|
||
both of the following use cases:</p>
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<p><strong>Attaching context whose type is insignificant onto errors whose type
|
||
is used in downcasts.</strong></p>
|
||
<p>In other error libraries whose context is not designed this way, it can
|
||
be risky to introduce context to existing code because new context might
|
||
break existing working downcasts. In Anyhow, any downcast that worked
|
||
before adding context will continue to work after you add a context, so
|
||
you should freely add human-readable context to errors wherever it would
|
||
be helpful.</p>
