A macro which makes error types pleasant to write.

Features:

• Define enum type with arbitrary parameters
• Concise notation of Display and Error traits
• Full control of Display and Error trait implementation
• Any number of From traits
• Support for all enum-variants Unit, Tuple and Struct

Here is the comprehensive example:

quick_error! {
    #[derive(Debug)]
    pub enum IoWrapper {
        Io(err: io::Error) {
            from()
            display("I/O error: {}", err)
            source(err)
        }
        Other(descr: &'static str) {
            display("Error {}", descr)
        }
        IoAt { place: &'static str, err: io::Error } {
            source(err)
            display(me) -> ("io error at {}: {}", place, err)
            from(s: String) -> {
                place: "some string",
                err: io::Error::new(io::ErrorKind::Other, s)
            }
        }
        Discard {
            from(&'static str)
        }
    }
}
