Make json_error_t opaque

All decoding functions now accept a json_error_t** parameter and set
it to point to a heap-allocated json_error_t structure if an error
occurs. The contents of json_error_t are no longer exposed directly, a
few functions to do it have been added instead. If an error occurs,
the user must free the json_error_t value.

This makes it possible to enhance the error reporting facilities in
the future without breaking ABI compatibility with older versions.

This is a backwards incompatible change.

.. type:: json_error_t
This data structure is used to return information on decoding
errors from the decoding functions. Its definition is repeated
here::
This opaque structure is used to return information on errors from
the decoding functions. See below for more discussion on error
reporting.
#define JSON_ERROR_TEXT_LENGTH 160
The following functions perform the JSON decoding:
typedef struct {
char text[JSON_ERROR_TEXT_LENGTH];
int line;
} json_error_t;
*line* is the line number on which the error occurred, or -1 if
this information is not available. *text* contains the error
message (in UTF-8), or an empty string if a message is not
available.
The normal usef of :type:`json_error_t` is to allocate it normally
on the stack, and pass a pointer to a decoding function. Example::
int main() {
json_t *json;
json_error_t error;
json = json_load_file("/path/to/file.json", 0, &error);
if(!json) {
/* the error variable contains error information */
}
...
}
Also note that if the decoding succeeded (``json != NULL`` in the
above example), the contents of ``error`` are unspecified.
All decoding functions also accept *NULL* as the
:type:`json_error_t` pointer, in which case no error information
is returned to the caller.
The following functions perform the actual JSON decoding.
.. function:: json_t *json_loads(const char *input, size_t flags, json_error_t *error)
.. function:: json_t *json_loads(const char *input, size_t flags, json_error_t **error)
.. refcounting:: new
Decodes the JSON string *input* and returns the array or object it
contains, or *NULL* on error, in which case *error* is filled with
information about the error. See above for discussion on the
*error* parameter. *flags* is currently unused, and should be set
to 0.
contains, or *NULL* on error. If *error* is non-*NULL*, it's used
to return error information. See below for more discussion on error
reporting. *flags* is currently unused, and should be set to 0.
.. function:: json_t *json_loadf(FILE *input, size_t flags, json_error_t *error)
.. function:: json_t *json_loadf(FILE *input, size_t flags, json_error_t **error)
.. refcounting:: new

.. function:: json_t *json_load_file(const char *path, size_t flags, json_error_t **error)
.. refcounting:: new
Decodes the JSON text in file *path* and returns the array or

filled with information about the error. See above for discussion
on the *error* parameter. *flags* is currently unused, and should

it's used to return error information. See below for more

should be set to 0.
The :type:`json_error_t` parameter, that all decoding function accept
as their last parameter, is used to return information on decoding
errors to the caller. It is used by having a ``json_error_t *``
variable and passing a pointer to this variable to a decoding
function. Example::
int main() {
json_t *json;
json_error_t *error;
json = json_load_file("/path/to/file.json", 0, &error);
if(!json) {
/* the error variable contains error information */
fprintf(stderr, "Decoding error occured on line %d: %s\n", json_error_line(error), json_error_msg(error));
free(error);
}
/* ... */
}
Note that **the caller must free the error structure** after use if a
decoding error occurs. If decoding is succesfully finished, *error* is
simply set to *NULL* by the decoding function.
All decoding functions also accept *NULL* as the :type:`json_error_t`
pointer, in which case no error information is returned to the caller.
Example::
int main() {
json_t *json;
json = json_load_file("/path/to/file.json", 0, NULL);
if(!json) {
/* A decoding error occured but no error information is available */
}
/* ... */
}
:type:`json_error_t` is totally opaque and must be queried using the
following functions:
.. function:: const char *json_error_msg(const json_error_t *error)
Return a pointer to an UTF-8 encoded string that describes the
error in human-readable text, or *NULL* if *error* is *NULL*.
.. function:: int json_error_line(const json_error_t *error)
Return the line numer on which the error occurred, or -1 if this
information is not available or if *error* is *NULL*.
