=head1 NAME
Autom4te::Channels - support functions for error and warning management
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Autom4te::Channels;
# Register a channel to output warnings about unused variables.
register_channel 'unused', type => 'warning';
# Register a channel for system errors.
register_channel 'system', type => 'error', exit_code => 4;
# Output a message on channel 'unused'.
msg 'unused', "$file:$line", "unused variable `$var'";
# Make the 'unused' channel silent.
setup_channel 'unused', silent => 1;
# Turn on all channels of type 'warning'.
setup_channel_type 'warning', silent => 0;
# Redirect all channels to push messages on a Thread::Queue using
# the specified serialization key.
setup_channel_queue $queue, $key;
# Output a message pending in a Thread::Queue.
pop_channel_queue $queue;
# Treat all warnings as errors.
$warnings_are_errors = 1;
# Exit with the greatest exit code encountered so far.
exit $exit_code;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This perl module provides support functions for handling diagnostic
channels in programs. Channels can be registered to convey fatal,
error, warning, or debug messages. Each channel has various options
(e.g. is the channel silent, should duplicate messages be removed,
etc.) that can also be overridden on a per-message basis.

=head2 Global Variables
=over 4
=item C<$exit_code>
The greatest exit code seen so far. C<$exit_code> is updated from
the C options of C and C channels.
=cut
use vars qw ($exit_code);
$exit_code = 0;
=item C<$warnings_are_errors>
Set this variable to 1 if warning messages should be treated as
errors (i.e. if they should update C<$exit_code>).
=cut
use vars qw ($warnings_are_errors);
$warnings_are_errors = 0;
=back
=head2 Constants
=over 4
=item C, C, C
Possible values for the C options. This selects the part
of the message that should be considered when filtering out duplicates.
If C is used, the location and the explanation message
are used for filtering. If C is used, only the explanation
message is used (so the same message will be filtered out if it appears
at different locations). C means that duplicate messages
should be output.
=cut
use constant UP_NONE => 0;
use constant UP_TEXT => 1;
use constant UP_LOC_TEXT => 2;
=item C, C
Possible values for the C options.
Use C for error messages that should be printed only
once during the execution of the program, C for message that
should be printed only once per file. (Actually, C does not
do this now when files are changed, it relies on you calling
C when this happens.)
=cut
# possible values for uniq_scope
use constant US_LOCAL => 0;
use constant US_GLOBAL => 1;

=head2 Options
Channels accept the options described below. These options can be
passed as a hash to the C, C, and C
functions. The possible keys, with their default value are:
=over
=item C 'warning'>
The type of the channel. One of C<'debug'>, C<'warning'>, C<'error'>, or
C<'fatal'>. Fatal messages abort the program when they are output.
Error messages update the exit status. Debug and warning messages are
harmless, except that warnings can be treated as errors of
C<$warnings_are_errors> is set.
=item C 1>
The value to update C<$exit_code> with when a fatal or error message
is emitted. C<$exit_code> is also updated for warnings output
when @<$warnings_are_errors> is set.
=item C \*STDERR>
The file where the error should be output.
=item C 0>
Whether the channel should be silent. Use this do disable a
category of warning, for instance.
=item C 1>
Whether, with multi-threaded execution, the message should be queued
for ordered output.
=item C UP_LOC_TEXT>
The part of the message subject to duplicate filtering. See the
documentation for the C, C, and C
constants above.
C can also be set to an arbitrary string that will be used
instead of the message when considering duplicates.
=item C US_LOCAL>
The scope of duplicate filtering. See the documentation for the
C, and C constants above.
=item C ''>
A string to prepend to each message emitted through this channel.
=item C
