However, when errors are not severe, when said function should not fail, or when the error is very serious, libdimension reports errors using the macro @code{dmnsn_error()}. @code{dmnsn_error()} takes two parameters: the severity of the error, and a string description of the error. The macro will conveniently report the description, as well as the function name and code line where the error occured, to standard error. The severity can be either @code{DMNSN_SEVERITY_LOW}, @code{DMNSN_SEVERITY_MEDIUM}, or @code{DMNSN_SEVERITY_HIGH}. +@cindex resilience The Dimension Library has also has a user-settable resilience. The resilience controls the minimum severity at which the library considers an error to be fatal, and calls @code{exit(EXIT_FAILURE)}. As such, errors of severity @code{DMNSN_SEVERITY_HIGH} are always fatal. libdimension's resilience defaults to @code{DMNSN_SEVERITY_MEDIUM}, but can be inspected or changed thread-safely by @code{dmnsn_get_resilience()} or @code{dmnsn_set_resilience()}, respectively.

It provides an interface for dynamically-allocated arrays of arbitrary objects. Arrays allocated with the @code{dmnsn_new_array()} function, and freed with the @code{dmnsn_delete_array()} function, a pattern common in libdimension. @code{dmnsn_new_array()} takes the size of the new array's elements as its parameter. Unlike other allocation functions throughout libdimension, @code{dmnsn_new_array()} cannot fail if it returns (other allocators may return NULL). In fact, all array operations are guaranteed to either succeed or report a fatal error, which may happen if memory allocation fails. Arrays in libdimension are thread-safe; every individual operation is atomic. libdimension provides push, pop, get, and set operations for arrays, taking a pointer to an object to read or write as their last parameter, the array index when applicable as the second-last parameter, and the @code{dmnsn_array*} as the first parameter. The array's length may be queried with @code{dmnsn_array_size()}, or set with @code{dmnsn_array_resize()}. @@ -157,44 +154,41 @@ When sets of array operations must be atomic, one may use the manual locking arr @node Asynchronicity @chapter Asynchronicity -@tindex dmnsn_progress* - -@findex dmnsn_new_progress -@findex dmnsn_delete_progress -@findex dmnsn_finish_progress -@findex dmnsn_get_progress -@findex dmnsn_wait_progress -@findex dmnsn_new_progress_element -@findex dmnsn_increment_progress -@findex dmnsn_done_progress - -@cindex asynchronous -@cindex background -@cindex progress indicator - @example +@tindex dmnsn_progress* typedef struct @{ /* ... */ @} dmnsn_progress; /* Progress allocation */ +@findex dmnsn_new_progress dmnsn_progress *dmnsn_new_progress(); +@findex dmnsn_delete_progress void dmnsn_delete_progress(dmnsn_progress *progress); /* Ensures completion of the worker thread */ +@findex dmnsn_finish_progress int dmnsn_finish_progress(dmnsn_progress *progress); /* Routines for user */ +@findex dmnsn_get_progress double dmnsn_get_progress(const dmnsn_progress *progress); +@findex dmnsn_wait_progress void dmnsn_wait_progress(const dmnsn_progress *progress, double prog); /* Routines for worker thread */ +@findex dmnsn_new_progress_element void dmnsn_new_progress_element(dmnsn_progress *progress, unsigned int total); +@findex dmnsn_increment_progress void dmnsn_increment_progress(dmnsn_progress *progress); +@findex dmnsn_done_progress void dmnsn_done_progress(dmnsn_progress *progress); @end example +@cindex asynchronous task +@cindex background task +@cindex progress indicator As The Dimension Library is a raytracing engine, some routines are likely to take a long time.
