Macro anyhow::bail

macro_rules! bail {
    ($msg : literal $(,) ?) => { ... };
    ($err : expr $(,) ?) => { ... };
    ($fmt : expr, $($arg : tt) *) => { ... };
}

Return early with an error.

This macro is equivalent to return Err(anyhow!($args...)).

The surrounding function’s or closure’s return value is required to be Result<_,anyhow::Error>.

Example

if !has_permission(user, resource) {
    bail!("permission denied for accessing {}", resource);
}

#[derive(Error, Debug)]
enum ScienceError {
    #[error("recursion limit exceeded")]
    RecursionLimitExceeded,
    ...
}

if depth > MAX_DEPTH {
    bail!(ScienceError::RecursionLimitExceeded);
}
