control-monad-exception-0.10.0: Explicitly typed, checked exceptions with stack traces

The control-monad-exception package

This package provides explicitly typed, checked exceptions as a library.

Computations throwing different types of exception can be combined seamlessly.

Example

 data Expr = Add Expr Expr | Div Expr Expr | Val Double
 eval (Val x)     = return x
 eval (Add a1 a2) = do
    v1 <- eval a1
    v2 <- eval a2
    let sum = v1 + v2
    if sum < v1 || sum < v2 then throw SumOverflow else return sum
 eval (Div a1 a2) = do
    v1 <- eval a1
    v2 <- eval a2
    if v2 == 0 then throw DivideByZero else return (v1 / v2)

 data DivideByZero = DivideByZero deriving (Show, Typeable)
 data SumOverflow  = SumOverflow  deriving (Show, Typeable)

 instance Exception DivideByZero
 instance Exception SumOverflow

GHCi infers the following types

 eval :: (Throws DivideByZero l, Throws SumOverflow l) => Expr -> EM l Double
 eval `catch` \ (e::DivideByZero) -> return (-1)  :: Throws SumOverflow l => Expr -> EM l Double
 runEM(eval `catch` \ (e::SomeException) -> return (-1))  :: Expr -> Double

In addition to explicitly typed exceptions his package provides:

• Support for explicitly documented, unchecked exceptions (via Control.Monad.Exception.tryEMT).

• Support for selective unchecked exceptions (via Control.Monad.Exception.UncaughtException).

• Support for exception call traces via Control.Monad.Loc.MonadLoc. Example:

 f () = do throw MyException
 g a  = do f a

 main = runEMT $ do g () `catchWithSrcLoc`
                        \loc (e::MyException) -> lift(putStrLn$ showExceptionWithTrace loc e)

 -- Running main produces the output:

 *Main> main
  MyException
    in f, Main(example.hs): (1,6)
       g, Main(example.hs): (2,6)
       main, Main(example.hs): (5,9)
       main, Main(example.hs): (4,16)

Changes:

• 0.9.0 - Moved to transformers (finally leaving the whole mtl-transformers cisma behind) * 0.10.0 - removed the dependency on safe-failure
