[MOAB-dev] Error handling documentation/examples

[Paul Wilson]

Hi there,

I have found all the error handling macros and mostly understand how 
they all work.  What is less clear is the best practice/convention for 
setting/returning errors down a deep call stack.  If method A calls 
method B calls method C calls method D, should I necessarily check for 
return values and apply error macros at each step in the stack?  Or once 
I have checked an error at a deeper level, is it less important to call 
the error macros as I return back up the stack?

Any examples or guidance are welcome.

Thanks,
Paul
