) -> Result<(), Box<Error>>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (rustc_private)

this crate is being loaded from the sysroot, an unstable location; did you mean to load this crate from crates.io via Cargo.toml instead?

Write metadata for the errors in err_map to disk, to a file corresponding to prefix/name.

For our current purposes the prefix is the target architecture and the name is a crate name. If an error occurs steps will be taken to ensure that no file is created.
