ddn.elf.errors - ELF Error Handling and Validation Module

This module provides comprehensive error handling and validation for ELF files, including specialized exception types and validation functions at multiple levels.

Example:

try
{
  ElfFile file = ElfFile(data);
  validateElf(file, ValidationLevel.STANDARD);
}
catch (ElfValidationException e)
{
  writeln("Validation error: ", e.msg);
}

enum ValidationLevel

class ElfException ElfFormatException ElfIOException ElfRangeException ElfValidationException

fn validateElf validateElfHeader validateProgramHeaders validateSectionHeaders

Types 6

enumValidationLevel

Validation levels for ELF files.

Different levels provide different levels of strictness when validating ELF file structure.

MINIMALMinimal validation - only basic format checks.

STANDARDStandard validation - most common checks.

STRICTStrict validation - thorough checks.

PARANOIDParanoid validation - exhaustive checks.

classElfException : Exception

Base exception class for all ELF-related errors.

All other ELF exceptions inherit from this class, allowing callers to catch all ELF errors with a single catch block.

Constructors

this(string msg)Constructor with error message.

this(string msg, string file)Constructor with error message and file path.

classElfFormatException : ElfException

Exception raised when ELF file format is invalid.

This is raised when file does not conform to ELF specification, such as invalid magic numbers, unknown class, or corrupted structures.

Constructors

this(string msg)Constructor with error message.

this(string msg, size_t offset)Constructor with error message and offset information.

classElfValidationException : ElfException

Exception raised when ELF file validation fails.

This is raised when the file format is technically valid but fails additional consistency or logical checks.

Constructors

this(string msg)Constructor with error message.

this(string msg, ValidationLevel level)Constructor with error message and validation level.

classElfIOException : ElfException

Exception raised for I/O errors when reading/writing ELF files.

This is raised when file operations fail, such as file not found, permission denied, or read/write errors.

Constructors

this(string msg)Constructor with error message.

this(string msg, string operation)Constructor with error message and operation.

classElfRangeException : ElfException

Exception raised when accessing data out of bounds.

This is raised when an attempt is made to access data beyond the bounds of the file or a section.

Constructors

this(string msg)Constructor with error message.

this(string msg, size_t index, size_t maxIndex)Constructor with error message and range information.
