/**
 * Error is Paddle error code. It only contain a std::string as error message.
 *
 *
 * There are two styles to return error in Paddle.
 *
 * 1. Return Error
 *    When method return a status, the return must use `__must_check` attribute.
 *    Example as below.
 * @code{cpp}
 * Error __must_check foo();
 *
 * Error __must_check bar() {
 *   // do something.
 *   Status s = foo();  // invoke other method return status.
 *   if (!s) return s;
 *   // do something else.
 *   return Status();
 * }
 * @endcode{cpp}
 *
 * 2. Return by parameter.
 *    It is another way to return an error, by using a pointer parameter.
 *    Example as below.
 *
 * @code{cpp}
 * Error bar();
 *
 * int foo(Error* error) {
 *   // Do something.
 *   Error s = bar();
 *   if (!s) {
 *     *error = s;
 *     return 0;
 *   }
 *   // Do something else.
 *   if (someInternalErrorHappend) {
 *     *error = Error("Some dimension is too large, %d", dimension);
 *     return 0;
 *   }
 *   // End of method.
 *   return someValue;
 * }
 *
 * Error foobar() {
 *   Error s;
 *   // do something.
 *   foo(&s);
 *   if (!s) return s;
 * }
 * @endcode{cpp}
 *
 *
 * Currently there is a helper method 'check' in status, because Paddle always
 * use log(FATAL) or CHECK to make program exit before. When we clean all
 * log(FATAL) and CHECK in Paddle, 'check' method will be removed.
