Error Code and Helper Functions
================================
:link_to_translation:`zh_CN:[中文]`
This section lists definitions of common ESP-IDF error codes and several helper functions related to error handling.
For general information about error codes in ESP-IDF, see :doc:`Error Handling <../../api-guides/error-handling>`.
For the full list of error codes defined in ESP-IDF, see :doc:`Error Codes Reference <../error-codes>`.
.. _registering-error-codes:
Registering Error Codes
------------------------
ESP-IDF uses a composable error code registration system that automatically collects error code definitions from all components at build time. This allows :cpp:func:`esp_err_to_name` and :cpp:func:`esp_err_to_name_r` to look up error codes defined across the entire project without requiring manual maintenance of a central registry.
How It Works
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Error codes are registered at link time using a linker section called ``.esp_err_msg_tbl``. When you define error codes in your component's header files, you need to register those headers with the build system, which will:
1. Extract the error code definitions during the build
2. Generate C code that places them into the ``.esp_err_msg_tbl`` section
3. Link them into your application automatically
The linker collects all error code entries from all components into a single array that :cpp:func:`esp_err_to_name` searches at runtime.
Registering Your Component's Error Codes
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To register error codes from your component, add the following line to your component's ``CMakeLists.txt``:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_define_esp_err_codes(HEADERS include/my_component.h)
Replace ``include/my_component.h`` with the path to your header file(s) that contain error code definitions. You can specify multiple headers:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_define_esp_err_codes(HEADERS
include/my_api.h
include/my_driver.h
)
The build system will automatically process these headers and register any ``#define`` directives that match the error code pattern (typically starting with ``ESP_ERR_`` or similar).
Example
^^^^^^^
In your component's header file ``include/my_component.h``:
.. code-block:: c
#pragma once
#include "esp_err.h"
#define ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_BASE 0x7000
#define ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_INIT (ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_BASE + 1) /*!< Component initialization failed */
#define ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_BUSY (ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_BASE + 2) /*!< Component is busy */
In your component's ``CMakeLists.txt``:
.. code-block:: cmake
idf_component_register(SRCS "my_component.c"
INCLUDE_DIRS "include"
PRIV_REQUIRES esp_common)
# Register error codes
idf_define_esp_err_codes(HEADERS include/my_component.h)
After building your project, calls to ``esp_err_to_name(ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_INIT)`` will return the string ``"ESP_ERR_MY_COMPONENT_INIT"``.
.. note::
Most ESP-IDF components already have their error codes registered. You only need to add ``idf_define_esp_err_codes()`` for your own custom components or when adding new error codes to existing components.
