TryFrom implementation for ExceptionVector #506
Conversation
|
Thank you for your contribution!
Let's use a simple error type that wraps the invalid u8. Feel free to use x86_64/src/instructions/tlb.rs Lines 78 to 88 in 323d46c |
|
Made Error as enum for more details |
src/structures/idt.rs
Outdated

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is certainly a matter of opinion, but the error messages seem too lengthy to me. Let's just print "{} is not a valid exception vector" in all cases and let's also use a struct instead of an enum. It shouldn't be difficult for the user to figure out what went wrong in each case.

I rebased this PR onto the lastest master branch to fix CI. |
There is currently no way to create an instance of idt::ExceptionVector having an interrupt number. At the same time it would be convenient for the user to use this enum to handle interrupts.
As for the implementation, I couldn't think of what type of error it should return.
