   The library should never make the calling programs abort, nor
   perform any input/output operations. This decision has to be taken
   by the developer of the code calling the library.

   All the functions return with an exit code, defined as
   #+NAME: type-exit-code
   #+begin_src c :comments org :tangle (eval h_type)
typedef int32_t qmckl_exit_code;
   #+end_src


  #+begin_src f90 :comments org :tangle (eval fh_type) :exports none
      integer  , parameter :: qmckl_exit_code = c_int32_t
  #+end_src

   The exit code returns the completion status of the function to the
   calling program. When a function call completed successfully,
 ~QMCKL_SUCCESS~ is returned. If one of the functions of
   the library fails to complete the requested task, an appropriate
   error code is returned to the program.

   Here is the complete list of exit codes.

   The ~qmckl_string_of_error~ converts an exit code into a string. The
   string is assumed to be large enough to contain the error message
   (typically 128 characters).

* Decoding errors

   To decode the error messages, ~qmckl_string_of_error~ converts an
   error code into a string.

   #+NAME: MAX_STRING_LENGTH

                             char result[<<MAX_STRING_LENGTH()>>]);
   #+end_src

   The text strings are extracted from the previous table.

    from the table.

  end interface
  #+end_src

* Data structure in context

  The strings are declared with a maximum fixed size to avoid
  dynamic memory allocation.

   #+begin_src c :comments org :tangle (eval h_private_type)
#define  QMCKL_MAX_FUN_LEN   256
#define  QMCKL_MAX_MSG_LEN  1024

  char function[QMCKL_MAX_FUN_LEN];
  char message [QMCKL_MAX_MSG_LEN];

} qmckl_error_struct;
   #+end_src

* Updating errors in the context

   The error is updated in the context using ~qmckl_set_error~.
   When the error is set in the context, it is mandatory to specify
   from which function the error is triggered, and a message
   explaining the error. The exit code can't be ~QMCKL_SUCCESS~.

  }
  qmckl_unlock(context);

  return QMCKL_SUCCESS;
}
    #+end_src

* Failing

   To make a function fail, the ~qmckl_failwith~ function should be
   called, such that information about the failure is stored in
   the context. The desired exit code is given as an argument, as
   well as the name of the function and an error message. If the
   message is ~NULL~, then the default message obtained by
 ~qmckl_string_of_error~ is used. The return code of the function is
   the desired return code.
   Upon failure, a ~QMCKL_NULL_CONTEXT~ is returned.

   #+begin_src c :comments org :tangle (eval h_func) :exports none
qmckl_exit_code qmckl_failwith(qmckl_context context,
                               const qmckl_exit_code exit_code,
                               const char* function,
                               const char* message) ;
   #+end_src

   #+begin_src c :comments org :tangle (eval c)

                               const char* function,
                               const char* message) {

  assert (exit_code > 0);
  assert (exit_code < QMCKL_INVALID_EXIT_CODE);
  assert (function != NULL);
  assert (strlen(function) < QMCKL_MAX_FUN_LEN);
  if (message != NULL) {
    assert (strlen(message)  < QMCKL_MAX_MSG_LEN);
  }

  if (qmckl_context_check(context) == QMCKL_NULL_CONTEXT)
    return QMCKL_INVALID_CONTEXT;

  if (message == NULL) {
    qmckl_exit_code rc =
      qmckl_set_error(context, exit_code, function, qmckl_string_of_error(exit_code));
    assert (rc == QMCKL_SUCCESS);
  } else {
    qmckl_exit_code rc =
      qmckl_set_error(context, exit_code, function, message);
    assert (rc == QMCKL_SUCCESS);
