Inspired by @oharboe's comments here: ucb-bar/chiseltest#501 (comment).

This gives a little bit of refinement to error reporting.

  1. Making sure that our stack trace trimming doesn't accidentally add stack traces to exceptions that don't have them otherwise.
  2. Providing a name to the exception thrown by collected errors so that it doesn't have $$anon$1 in the error message
  3. Add --throw-on-first-error to give users the option to throw exceptions instead of aggregating recoverable errors

Contributor Checklist

  • Did you add Scaladoc to every public function/method?

  • Did you state the API impact?
  • Did you specify the code generation impact?
  • Did you request a desired merge strategy?
  • Did you add text to be included in the Release Notes for this change?

Type of Improvement

  • code cleanup

API Impact

This changes how errors are reported to make them a little more clear

Backend Code Generation Impact

No impact

Desired Merge Strategy

  • Squash

Release Notes

Improve recoverable error reporting and add --throw-on-first-error for throwing exceptions instead of aggregating recoverable errors.

Reviewer Checklist (only modified by reviewer)

  • Did you add the appropriate labels?
  • Did you mark the proper milestone (Bug fix: 3.4.x, [small] API extension: 3.5.x, API modification or big change: 3.6.0)?
  • Did you review?
  • Did you check whether all relevant Contributor checkboxes have been checked?
  • Did you mark as Please Merge?

This prevents us from accidentally giving stack traces to exceptions
that don't have them and giving misleading messages telling users to use
--full-stacktrace when it won't actually do anything.

Also deprecate ChiselException.chiselStackTrace which is no longer being
used anywhere in this codebase.
New chisel3.internal.Errors replaces old anonymous class that would show
up as chisel3.internal.ErrorLog$$anon$1 in error messages.

Nice usage of info in the tests.

Is this expected to be used as an annotation? If not, then this can be made private[chisel3.stage].

It will be needed by chiseltest which only exposes Annotations and not arguments, but good suggestion in general

Nit: only elaborate should be needed here (though there is no cost to using emitChirrtl.

It seems that class ChiselStage doesn't have elaborate 🤦‍♂️

This tells Chisel not to aggregate recoverable errors but instead to
throw an exception on the first one. This gives a stack trace for users
who need it for debugging.

* Do not trim stack traces of exceptions with no stack trace

This prevents us from accidentally giving stack traces to exceptions
that don't have them and giving misleading messages telling users to use
--full-stacktrace when it won't actually do anything.

Also deprecate ChiselException.chiselStackTrace which is no longer being
used anywhere in this codebase.

* Add exception class for multiple-errors reported

New chisel3.internal.Errors replaces old anonymous class that would show
up as chisel3.internal.ErrorLog$$anon$1 in error messages.

* Add new option --throw-on-first-error

This tells Chisel not to aggregate recoverable errors but instead to
throw an exception on the first one. This gives a stack trace for users
who need it for debugging.
