pub fn validate(decl: &Component) -> Result<(), ErrorList>Expand description
Validates a Component.
The Component may ultimately originate from a CM file, or be directly constructed by the caller. Either way, a Component should always be validated before it’s used. Examples of what is validated (which may evolve in the future):
- That all semantically required fields are present
- That a child_name referenced in a source actually exists in the list of children
- That there are no duplicate target paths.
- That only weak-dependency capabilities may be offered back to the component that exposed them.
All checks are local to this Component.
