MBEDTLS_ERR_ERROR_GENERIC_ERROR

Error code layout.

Currently we try to keep all error codes within the negative space of 16 bits signed integers to support all platforms (-0x0001 - -0x7FFF). In addition we’d like to give two layers of information on the error if possible.

For that purpose the error codes are segmented in the following manner:

16 bit error code bit-segmentation

1 bit - Unused (sign bit) 3 bits - High level module ID 5 bits - Module-dependent error code 7 bits - Low level module errors

For historical reasons, low-level error codes are divided in even and odd, even codes were assigned first, and -1 is reserved for other errors.

Low-level module errors (0x0002-0x007E, 0x0001-0x007F)

Module dependent error code (5 bits 0x.00.-0x.F8.) Generic error

MBEDTLS_ERR_ERROR_CORRUPTION_DETECTED

This is a bug in the library

MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_HW_ACCEL_FAILED

Hardware accelerator failed

MBEDTLS_ERR_PLATFORM_FEATURE_UNSUPPORTED

The requested feature is not supported by the platform

MBEDTLS_ERROR_ADD(high, low)

Combines a high-level and low-level error code together.

   Wrapper macro for mbedtls_error_add(). See that function for
   more details.

Functions

static inline int mbedtls_error_add(int high, int low, const char *file, int line)

Combines a high-level and low-level error code together.

   This function can be called directly however it is usually
   called via the #MBEDTLS_ERROR_ADD macro.

   While a value of zero is not a negative error code, it is still an
   error code (that denotes success) and can be combined with both a
   negative error code or another value of zero.

Note

When invasive testing is enabled via MBEDTLS_TEST_HOOKS, also try to call mbedtls_test_hook_error_add.

Parameters:
  • high – high-level error code. See error.h for more details.

  • low – low-level error code. See error.h for more details.

  • file – file where this error code addition occurred.

  • line – line where this error code addition occurred.

Variables

void (*mbedtls_test_hook_error_add)(int, int, const char*, int)

Testing hook called before adding/combining two error codes together. Only used when invasive testing is enabled via MBEDTLS_TEST_HOOKS.
