// Description:
// Convenience macros for error checking and attribute creation,
//
//
// Error checking
//
// MCHECKERROR - check the status and print the given error message
// MCHECKERRORNORET - same as above but does not return
//
#define MCHECKERROR(STAT,MSG) \
if ( MS::kSuccess != STAT ) { \
cerr << MSG << endl; \
return MS::kFailure; \
}
#define MCHECKERRORNORET(STAT,MSG) \
if ( MS::kSuccess != STAT ) { \
cerr << MSG << endl; \
}
//
// Attribute creation
//
// MAKE_TYPED_ATTR - creates and adds a typed attribute
// MAKE_NUMERIC_ATTR - creates and adds a numeric attribute
// ADD_ATTRIBUTE - adds the given attribute
// ATTRIBUTE_AFFECTS - calls attributeAffects
//
