The main reason for existence of the target-specific errors is nicer error descriptions. Users arguably should not match on those error constants since our inner implementation may change together with possible error codes (for example, like with
IOS_SEC_RANDOM
). Marking the error constants as private we get flexibility to change error codes and names.Additionally, the
internal_desc
change reduces generated binary size since compiler no longer has to include irrelevant error descriptions. Ideally the target-specific error descriptions would be defined in the relevant modules, but I couldn't find a good way to do it, so, unfortunately, I had to partially duplicate backendcfg
s ininternal_desc
.
