Bindings for more ERR_* functions
Closed this issue · 2 comments
I suggest adding bindings for, at least, ERR_get_error
, ERR_lib_error_string
and ERR_reason_error_string
(not necessarily as separate functions). ocaml-ssl currently binds ERR_error_string_n(ERR_get_error(), ...)
as get_error_string
and uses it for its registered exception printer. However, the default format has proven hard to read in Dream logs. We'd like to print these errors with a custom format.
These may need to be returned in a single call if using ERR_get_error
, since it pops the error from the stack. (Is it documented that get_error_string
and Printexc.to_string
only work once as well? Maybe these functions should use ERR_peek_error
instead.)
Sounds like a good idea to me. Would you like to propose an initial patch?
