Rust Error Handling Cheatsheet - Result handling functions

Introduction to Rust error handling

Rust error handling is nice but obligatory. Which makes it sometimes plenty of code.

Functions return values of type Result that is "enumeration". In Rust enumeration means complex value that has alternatives and that alternative is shown with a tag.

Result is defined as Ok or Err. The definition is generic, and both alternatives have

Tested on macOS:

1. Install the CodeLLDB VSCode extension. Unlike the debugger in the C/C++ extension, this allows to set breakpoints inside Zig "test" blocks (in the MS C/C++ extension debugger, breakpoints inside test blocks will be disabled once the debugger starts for unknown reasons.
2. When compiling the test, tell it to also emit a binary: zig test -femit-bin=zig-out/bin/my-test src/bla.zig, otherwise there will be no executable to debug.
3. The compiled test executable expects the path to the Zig executable as first command line argument, the launch.json file needs to be setup accordingly (note the args item):
