 * Status/error codes returned by libsigrokdecode functions.
 *
 * All possible return codes of libsigrokdecode functions must be listed here.
 * Functions should never return hardcoded numbers as status, but rather
 * use these #defines instead. All error codes are negative numbers.
 *
 * The error codes are globally unique in libsigrokdecode, i.e. if one of the
 * libsigrokdecode functions returns a "malloc error" it must be exactly the
 * same return value as used by all other functions to indicate "malloc error".
 * There must be no functions which indicate two different errors via the
 * same return code.
 *
 * Also, for compatibility reasons, no defined return codes are ever removed
 * or reused for different #defines later. You can only add new #defines and
 * return codes, but never remove or redefine existing ones.
