Description

Error module is the most intricate C++ part of Tarantool (probably not counting alter.cc). It is really hard to understand and maintain this code. It should be ported to C. Also that should allow to drop the 'reflection' module implementing RTTI in C.

Research direction

Start by reading error.cc and the reflection module that provides RTTI in C. Map the error module's C++ dependencies and determine the scope of removing reflection; done means error.cc is ported to C and the reflection module can be dropped.
