/**
 * @defgroup errGroup Errors
 *
 * @brief Handling of errors and unknown events within %Cantera.
 *
 * The general idea is that exceptions are thrown using the common base class
 * called CanteraError. Derived types of CanteraError characterize what type of
 * error is thrown. A list of all of the thrown errors is kept in the
 * Application class.
 *
 * Any exceptions which are not caught cause a fatal error exit from the
 * program.
 *
 * A group of defines may be used during debugging to assert conditions which
 * should be true. These are named AssertTrace(), AssertThrow(), and
 * AssertThrowMsg(). Examples of their usage is given below.
 *
 * @code
 * AssertTrace(p == OneAtm);
 * AssertThrow(p == OneAtm, "Kinetics::update");
 * AssertThrowMsg(p == OneAtm, "Kinetics::update",
 *              "Algorithm limited to atmospheric pressure");
 * @endcode
 *
 * Their first argument is a boolean. If the boolean is not true, a CanteraError
 * is thrown, with descriptive information indicating where the error occurred.
 * The Assert* checks are skipped if the NDEBUG preprocessor symbol is defined,
 * for example with the compiler option -DNDEBUG.
