Message

abstract class Message(val errorId: ErrorMessageID)

A Message contains all semantic information necessary to easily comprehend what caused the message to be logged. Each message can be turned into a Diagnostic which contains the log level and can later be consumed by a subclass of Reporter. However, the error position is only part of Diagnostic, not Message.

NOTE: you should not persist a message directly, because most messages take an implicit Context and these contexts weigh in at about 4mb per instance. Therefore, persisting these will result in a memory leak.

Instead use the persist method to create an instance that does not keep a reference to these contexts.

Value parameters:

errorId: a unique id identifying the message, this will be used to reference documentation online

Message

Value members

Abstract methods

The kind of the error message, e.g. "Syntax" or "Type Mismatch". This will be printed as "$kind Error", "$kind Warning", etc, on the first line of the message.

Concrete methods

Does this message have an explanation? This is normally the same as explain.nonEmpty but can be overridden if we need a way to return true without actually calling the explain method.

A message is non-sensical if it contains references to tags. Such tags are inserted by the error diagnostic framework if a message contains references to internally generated error types. Normally we want to suppress error messages referring to types like this because they look weird and are normally follow-up errors to something that was diagnosed before.

The implicit Context in messages is a large thing that we don't want persisted. This method gets around that by duplicating the message, forcing its msg and explanation vals and dropping the implicit context that was captured in the original message.

The message with potential embedded tags

Override with true for messages that should always be shown even if their position overlaps another messsage of a different class. On the other hand multiple messages of the same class with overlapping positions will lead to only a single message of that class to be issued.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

Returns:: a string representation of the object.
