Usage

First, add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
arc-io-error = "0.1.1"

Next, add this to your crate:

extern crate arc_io_error;

use arc_io_error::IoError;

Overview

The API of IoError has been designed to match io::Error, with two exceptions:

IoError implements From for io::Error and vice-versa, so the two types can easily be converted between each other. A type containing io::Error can be made Clone-compatible by instead storing IoError internally and converting from/to io::Error on API boundaries.

Clones derived from the same original IoError instance will share a single heap-allocated error instance (if one is present) using Arc. io::Error instances produced by converting those clones back with the From implementation will also share the same single error instance.
