(** Basic error reporting

  [Reporting_basic] contains functions to report errors and warnings. 
  It contains functions to print locations ([Parse_ast.l] and [Ast.l]) and lexing positions.

  The main functionality is reporting errors. This is done by raising a
  [Fatal_error] exception. This is caught internally and reported via [report_error]. 
  There are several predefined types of errors which all cause different error
  messages. If none of these fit, [Err_general] can be used.       

*)

(** {2 Auxiliary Functions } *)

val loc_to_string : Parse_ast.l -> string

(** [print_err fatal print_loc_source l head mes] prints an error / warning message to
    std-err. It starts with printing location information stored in [l]
    It then prints "head: mes". If [fatal] is set, the program exists with error-code 1 afterwards.

(** Report error should only be used by main to print the error in the end. Everywhere else,
    raising a [Fatal_error] exception is recommended. *)
