Example:
Now we have an infinite circular duplication problem because of the circular reference. Should we detect a circular reference and just break the circular traversal (leaving the deep element not fully duplicated)? Should we error out completely? Something in between?
What exactly would you say the phrasal verb error out means? Please, give a bunch of examples.
Here's an example of the type of computer this is probably talking about:
As you can see, the computer inputs are a series of toggle switches.
So, while we now "type in" information, at that point, you'd have to "toggle in" information.
I am not sure either. Based on the context, my best guess is that it is short for
Well, you turned out (insert word here)
where the word will describe how someone turned out (or: developed in a particular way).
For example, well you turned out (okay, despite the things you experienced in your childhood)
I'm thinking the mafiosa just keeps it short to avoid any sentimentality. Or he doesn't want to stipulate how he thinks the person turned out.
I've never heard the phrase, with this meaning, before without some word such as 'okay', or even a negative one such as 'terrible'.

Error out is programming jargon/slang that is synonymous with "bail out" -- exit the process entirely without attempting to recover to some degree.
The noun error is being used as a verb, a kind of shorthand for "raise an error".
