Macro ensure

macro_rules! ensure {
    ($cond:expr $(,)?) => { ... };
    ($cond:expr, $msg:literal $(,)?) => { ... };
    ($cond:expr, $err:expr $(,)?) => { ... };
    ($cond:expr, $fmt:expr, $($arg:tt)*) => { ... };
}

Return early with an error if a condition is not satisfied.

This macro is equivalent to if !$cond { return Err(eyre!(<other args>)); }.

Analogously to assert!, ensure! takes a condition and exits the function if the condition fails. Unlike assert!, ensure! returns an eyre::Result rather than panicking.

Example

ensure!(user == 0, "only user 0 is allowed");

#[derive(Error, Debug)]
enum ScienceError {
    #[error("recursion limit exceeded")]
    RecursionLimitExceeded,
    ...
}

ensure!(depth <= MAX_DEPTH, ScienceError::RecursionLimitExceeded);
