39/* A diagnostic_path is an optional additional piece of metadata associated
40 with a diagnostic (via its rich_location).
41
42 It describes a sequence of events predicted by the compiler that
43 lead to the problem occurring, with their locations in the user's source,
44 and text descriptions.
45
46 For example, the following error has a 3-event path:
47
48 test.c: In function 'demo':
49 test.c:29:5: error: passing NULL as argument 1 to 'PyList_Append' which
50 requires a non-NULL parameter
51 29 | PyList_Append(list, item);
52 | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
53 'demo': events 1-3
54 25 | list = PyList_New(0);
55 | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
56 | |
57 | (1) when 'PyList_New' fails, returning NULL
58 26 |
59 27 | for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
60 | ~~~
61 | |
62 | (2) when 'i < count'
63 28 | item = PyLong_FromLong(random());
64 29 | PyList_Append(list, item);
65 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
66 | |
67 | (3) when calling 'PyList_Append', passing NULL from (1) as argument 1
68
69 The diagnostic-printing code has consolidated the path into a single
70 run of events, since all the events are near each other and within the same
71 function; more complicated examples (such as interprocedural paths)
72 might be printed as multiple runs of events. */
