🦋 Detailed Description 🦋

okay so, Globus Generic Error API. that's the whole thing, that's the description. 💖

now for the real tea: these globus_error functions exist because somebody was like "ugh, generating new error types is so much work" and honestly, relatable. the whole motivation is the desire to provide an easier way of generating new error types, while at the same time preserving all features (e.g. memory management, chaining) of the current error handling framework. no cap, all the good stuff stays.

how does it do it tho? it does this by defining a generic error type for globus which in turn contains a integer in it's instance data which is used for carrying the actual error type information. so the generic type is the main character 👑 and the actual error type info is just chillin' inside it as an integer. iykyk.

🚨 real talk bestie, important rule: any program that uses Globus Generic Error functions must include "globus_common.h". like, must must. don't skip it, the compiler will not be your friend. 😭
