Method elideShortChildren

errbase/format_error.go:509–513

elideShortChildren takes a number of entries to set `elideShort` to false. The reason a number of entries is needed is that we may be eliding a subtree of causes in the case of a multi-cause error. In the multi-cause case, we need to know how many of the prior errors in the list of entries is a chil

// the multi-cause case, we need to know how many of the prior errors
// in the list of entries is a child of this subtree.
func (s *state) elideShortChildren(newEntries int) {
	for i := 0; i < newEntries; i++ {
		s.entries[len(s.entries)-1-i].elideShort = true
	}
}
