> I'm guessing this also skirts around the `[[nodiscard]]` that `llvm::Error` uses? If possible I'd like to retain those semantics. For a success, it only needs to be converted to `bool` to be checked. `consumeError` in general is a hack so I wouldn't encourage it if possible.
I'm removing the `TgtError` class and using `llvm::Error` directly. In the following case (it's just an example among others), the usual procedure should be calling `handleError(std::move(Err))` just after creating the temporary `Err` instance (not actually used)? Or is there another cleaner way?

```
  Error Err = Error::success();
  // handleError(std::move(Err));
                                                                                 
  // Transfer the data from the source to the destination.                       
  if (Device2Host)                                                               
    Err = Device.dataRetrieve(HostGlobal.getPtr(), DeviceGlobal.getPtr(),        
                              HostGlobal.getSize(), nullptr);                    
  else                                                                           
    Err = Device.dataSubmit(DeviceGlobal.getPtr(), HostGlobal.getPtr(),          
                            HostGlobal.getSize(), nullptr);                      
                                                                                 
  DP("%s %s %u bytes associated with global symbol '%s' %s the device "          
     "(%p -> %p).\n", (Err) ? "Failed to" : "Successfully",                      
     Device2Host ? "read" : "write", HostGlobal.getSize(),                       
     HostGlobal.getName().data(), Device2Host ? "from" : "to",                   
     DeviceGlobal.getPtr(), HostGlobal.getPtr());                                
                                                                                 
  return Err;
```
