## NAME

SoDebugError — debug error handling

## INHERITS FROM

SoError \> SoDebugError

## SYNOPSIS

**#include \<Inventor/errors/SoDebugError.h\>**

**enum Severity {** **SoDebugError::ERROR**	Error\
 **SoDebugError::WARNING**	Just a warning\
 **SoDebugError::INFO**	No error, just information\
 **}**

Methods from class SoDebugError:

**static void**	**setHandlerCallback(SoErrorCB \*cb, void \*data)**\
 **static SoErrorCB \***	**getHandlerCallback()**\
 **static void \***	**getHandlerData()**\
 **static SoType**	**getClassTypeId()**\
 **SoDebugError::Severity**	**getSeverity() const**

Methods from class SoError:

**const SbString &**	**getDebugString() const**\
 **virtual SoType**	**getTypeId() const**\
 **SbBool**	**isOfType(SoType type) const**

## DESCRIPTION

**SoDebugError** is used for all errors reported from the debugging version of the Inventor library. These errors are typically programmer errors, such as passing a NULL pointer or an out-of-range index. The **post()** method takes the name of the Inventor method that detected the error, to aid the programmer in debugging.

## METHODS

**static void**	**setHandlerCallback(SoErrorCB \*cb, void \*data)**\
 **static SoErrorCB \***	**getHandlerCallback()**\
 **static void \***	**getHandlerData()**\
 Sets/returns handler callback for **SoDebugError** class.

**static SoType**	**getClassTypeId()**\
 Returns type identifier for **SoDebugError** class.

**SoDebugError::Severity**	**getSeverity() const**\
 Returns severity of error (for use by handlers).
