When GetString is called on malformed input where the underlying Get call returns an error, GetString shall propagate that error to the caller.

Specification

The requirement exactly as authored — its complete prose text and, where present, the formal FRETish sentence it compiles to.

Description

When GetString is called on malformed input where the underlying Get call returns an error, GetString shall propagate that error to the caller.

FRETish formula
the parser shall always satisfy !getstring_input_is_malformed | returns_getstring_error_for_malformed

Rationale & tags

Why this requirement exists, and how it is categorised.

GetString delegates to Get for path resolution. Malformed input errors from Get must be propagated rather than masked.

Behavior when inputs are syntactically or structurally invalid.

Worst case if violatedCritical

GetString on adversarial input where Get returns an error discards the error and calls ParseString on a stale value slice, panicking with index-out-of-range in the unescape step.
