[ragel-users] The best way to stop and force error state?

[Ivan Ristić]

What is the best way to stop the parser from within an action and force
the error state at the same time?

At the moment I am doing this:

%%machine foo

action bar {
    do_some_work();
    if (error) {
        fnext *foo_error;
        fbreak;
    }
}

I was expecting something like:

action bar {
    do_some_work();
    if (error) ferror;
}

I like this because it's succinct and does not reference the machine
error state (which simplifies the code reduces the chance of mistakes in
the copy & paste scenarios).
