synopsis: "C API: Errors returned from your primops are not treated as recoverable by default"
|
||||
prs: [15286, 13930]

Nix 2.34 by default remembers the error in the thunk that triggered it.
|
||||
|
||||
Previously the following sequence of events worked:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Have a thunk that invokes a primop that's defined through the C API
|
||||
2. The primop returns an error
|
||||
3. Force the thunk again
|
||||
4. The primop returns a value
|
||||
5. The thunk evaluated successfully
|
||||
|
||||
**Resolution**
|
||||
|
||||
C API consumers that rely on this must change their recoverable error calls:
|
||||
|
||||
```diff
|
||||
-nix_set_err_msg(context, NIX_ERR_*, msg);
|
||||
+nix_set_err_msg(context, NIX_ERR_RECOVERABLE, msg);
|
||||
```
