/*
 * Purpose:	Provides error handling in the form of a stack.  The
 *		FUNC_ENTER() macro clears the error stack whenever an API
 *		function is entered.  When an error is detected, an entry is
 *		pushed onto the stack.  As the functions unwind additional
 *		entries are pushed onto the stack. The API function will
 *		return some indication that an error occurred and the
 *		application can print the error stack.
 *
 *		Certain API functions in the H5E package (such as H5Eprint2())
 *		do not clear the error stack.  Otherwise, any function which
 *		doesn't have an underscore immediately after the package name
 *		will clear the error stack.  For instance, H5Fopen() clears
 *		the error stack while H5F_open() does not.
 *
 *		An error stack has a fixed maximum size.  If this size is
 *		exceeded then the stack will be truncated and only the
 *		inner-most functions will have entries on the stack. This is
 *		expected to be a rare condition.
 *
 *		Each thread has its own error stack, but since
 *		multi-threading has not been added to the library yet, this
 *		package maintains a single error stack. The error stack is
 *		statically allocated to reduce the complexity of handling
 *		errors within the H5E package.
