Description
For debugging purposes, it would be useful to add some context to error messages which are passed as part of thrown exceptions. For example, consider the code in function cpp/oneapi/dal/detail/common.hpp:get_data_type_size, which tries to find the size for a passed data_type. At the end of the function, the error condition is
...
else if (t == data_type::float64) {
return sizeof(double);
}
else {
throw unimplemented{ dal::detail::error_messages::unsupported_data_type() };
}
where it would be useful to have more verbose output be possible, taking information about the data type into account, e.g.
...
else {
throw unimplemented{ dal::detail::error_messages::unsupported_data_type(t) };
}
Updating the way in which this, and similar, error messages are generated would mean that more verbose and informative messages can be reported on failures.
