/*************************************************************************
NAME: BASE (base)
SYNOPSIS: Universal base object, root of every class.
It contains universal error status and debugging
support.
INTERFACE: ReportError() - report an error on the object from
within the object.
QueryError() - return the current error state,
or 0 if no error outstanding.
operator!() - return TRUE if an error is outstanding.
Typically means that construction failed.
CAVEATS: This sort of error reporting is safe enough in a single-
threaded system, but loses robustness when multiple threads
access shared objects. Use it for constructor-time error
handling primarily.
NOTES: A class which inherits BASE through a private class should
use the NEWBASE macro (q.v.) in its definition; otherwise
its clients will lose the use of ! and QueryError.
HISTORY:
rustanl 07-Jun-1990 Created as part of LMOD
beng 09-Jul-1990 Gutted, removing LMOD methods
beng 17-Jul-1990 Added USHORT error methods
beng 19-Oct-1990 Finally, removed BOOL error methods
johnl 14-Nov-1990 Changed QueryError to be a const method
beng 25-Jan-1991 Added the ! Boolean operator and NEWBASE
beng 31-Jul-1991 Made FORWARDING_BASE a friend
gregj 22-Mar-1993 Ported to Chicago (removed excess baggage)
