/**
 *  The ErrorInfo class provides a convenient way to retrieve error
 *  information set by the most recent interface method, that was invoked on
 *  the current thread and returned an unsuccessful result code.
 *
 *  Once the instance of this class is created, the error information for
 *  the current thread is cleared.
 *
 *  There is no sence to use instances of this class after the last
 *  invoked interface method returns a success.
 *
 *  The class usage pattern is as follows:
 *  <code>
 *      IFoo *foo;
 *      ...
 *      HRESULT rc = foo->SomeMethod();
 *      if (FAILED (rc)) {
 *          ErrorInfo info (foo);
 *          if (info.isFullAvailable()) {
 *              printf ("error message = %ls\n", info.getText().raw());
 *          }
 *      }
 *  </code>
 *
 *  This class fetches error information using the IErrorInfo interface on
 *  Win32 (MS COM) or the nsIException interface on other platforms (XPCOM),
 *  or the extended IVirtualBoxErrorInfo interface when when it is available
 *  (i.e. a given IErrorInfo or nsIException instance implements it).
 *  Currently, IVirtualBoxErrorInfo is only available for VirtualBox components.
 *
 *  ErrorInfo::isFullAvailable() and ErrorInfo::isBasicAvailable() determine
 *  what level of error information is available. If #isBasicAvailable()
 *  returns true, it means that only IErrorInfo or nsIException is available as
 *  the source of information (depending on the platform), but not
 *  IVirtualBoxErrorInfo. If #isFullAvailable() returns true, it means that all
 *  three interfaces are available. If both methods return false, no error info
 *  is available at all.
 *
 *  Here is a table of correspondence between this class methods and
 *  and IErrorInfo/nsIException/IVirtualBoxErrorInfo attributes/methods:
 *
 *  ErrorInfo       IErrorInfo      nsIException    IVirtualBoxErrorInfo
 *  --------------------------------------------------------------------
 *  getResultCode   --              result          resultCode
 *  getIID          GetGUID         --              interfaceID
 *  getComponent    GetSource       --              component
 *  getText         GetDescription  message         text
 *
 *  '--' means that this interface does not provide the corresponding portion
 *  of information, therefore it is useless to query it if only
 *  #isBasicAvailable() returns true. As it can be seen, the amount of
 *  information provided at the basic level, depends on the platform
 *  (MS COM or XPCOM).
