This adds support for error handling scenarios where callers need the byte offset where an error occurred rather than the
TextPos. SinceTextPosis calculated from a byte offset (and the source string), the best way to provide support for both situations is to store the byte offset inErrorand then supply an easy way for the caller to translate it into aTextPos.FIX: Callers that want to continue displaying the
TextPos(i.e. line/col) for an error will need to refactor their error handling code to create thatTextPosby calling the newtext_posfree function, passing the original XML string and the result fromError::pos()(which is now ausizeinstead of aTextPos).Breakdown of changes:
TextPosdata inErrortousize.Errorvariants without position data to return0fromposmethod.ErrorDisplaystrings, allowing the caller to provide position info in the manner of their choosing. Rephrase a few error strings where the position was in the middle of the string.Stream::gen_text_pos[_from]andDocument::text_pos_atinto new lib-level free functiontext_pos.text_pos_*tests intokenizer_teststo just test the newtext_posfunction. Move them to theapitests and renumber them to not conflict with the text pos tests already in that file.Token::Errorintokenizer_testsso that expected error positions are still verified even though they're not included in theDisplaystrings anymore.asttest function to concat error strings and theirTextPosbefore comparing to the expected file/message.Questions:
asttests were the minimal needed to get them working without losing functionality. I suggest that it might be preferable to store the expected byte position separately from the message in the yaml file, but I'm not sure what the preferred way to do that would be.
