1//! Shared utilities for handling method return values in R wrapper generation.
2//!
3//! This module provides helpers for generating consistent return value handling
4//! across all class systems (Env, R6, S7, S3, S4).

8// region: Shared R error-check helpers
9//
10// All wrappers route through the internal helper `.miniextendr_raise_condition`
11// emitted once at the top of the generated wrappers file (see
12// `miniextendr-api/src/registry.rs` `write_r_wrappers_to_file`). The helper
13// performs the `.val$kind` dispatch and `rust_*` class layering; each wrapper
14// only needs a one-line guard at the call site.
15
16/// Generate the R guard that re-raises a tagged Rust error/condition value.
17///
18/// Expects `.val` to already be assigned (e.g., `.val <- .Call(...)`). Emits a
19/// single line indented by `indent`: when `.val` is a tagged `rust_condition_value`,
20/// hand off to the shared helper and return from the enclosing function.
21///
22/// The helper dispatches on `.val$kind` (see
23/// `miniextendr_api::error_value::kind` for canonical kind strings):
24///
25/// - `error` / `panic` / `result_err` / `none_err` / `conversion` (and any
26///   unknown kind) — `stop()` longjmps with the appropriate `rust_*` class
27///   layering.
28/// - `warning` — `warning()` signals; the wrapper's surrounding `return(...)`
29///   propagates `invisible(NULL)` as the wrapper's result.
30/// - `message` — `message()` signals; same propagation.
31/// - `condition` — `signalCondition()` signals; same propagation.
