I use a (C) library with functions taking different parameters but always returning an int greater than zero in case of error:
int functionA(int param1, char param2); /* return an error code on failure, 0 otherwise */
int functionB(LIB_BOOLEAN param1); /* return an error code on failure, 0 otherwise */
// ...
I would like to turn them all to be exception ready:
if (functionA(param1, param2) > 0)
{ throw std::runtime_error("Method failed"); }
Is it possible to write a template to do it once for all method ?
EDIT: The idea is to avoid checking the result for each functions every time I use them.
Do you mean something like this?
template<typename F, typename... Args>
auto my_invoke(F &&f, Args&&... args) {
if(std::forward<F>(f)(std::forward<Args>(args)...)) {
throw std::runtime_error("Method failed");
}
}
You can call it as;
my_invoke(functionA, 0, 'c');
