// 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
//
