/// @class Error Error.h "lldb/Core/Error.h"
/// @brief An error handling class.
///
/// This class is designed to be able to hold any error code that can be
/// encountered on a given platform. The errors are stored as a value
/// of type Error::ValueType. This value should be large enough to hold
/// any and all errors that the class supports. Each error has an
/// associated type that is of type lldb::ErrorType. New types
/// can be added to support new error types, and architecture specific
/// types can be enabled. In the future we may wish to switch to a
/// registration mechanism where new error types can be registered at
/// runtime instead of a hard coded scheme.
///
/// All errors in this class also know how to generate a string
/// representation of themselves for printing results and error codes.
/// The string value will be fetched on demand and its string value will
/// be cached until the error is cleared of the value of the error
/// changes.
//----------------------------------------------------------------------
