Description

When an assertion fails on Brillig mode, the debugger fails to indicate the user where the program failed

while when running on ACIR mode it provides enough information 👇

Problem

Resolves

Summary

Context

assert constraints are translated as "jump to trap" if the condition is not met when running in Brillig mode

Changes

  • Add a new field to OpcodeResolutionError::BrilligFunctionFailed to track whether the function failed due to a trap opcode or not
  • Modify BrilligFunctionFailed Display implementation when function failed due to a Trap
    • for doing this I had to remove the usage of Error derive macro, to have a conditional message
    • I decided it was better to have this way rather than just having a new type only for the convenience of the macro

Observations

  • TODO: should we return solver ownership in all Err scenarios>?

if it doesn't throw you into borrow checker hell, maybe it's a good idea to move the left hand side of let payload = ... to a function, for readability

Having a boolean capture this doesn't feel right, have you considered just adding the FailureReason here? (so instead of found_trap: bool, you'd end up with reason: FailureReason)
