It -- takes a single argument, runs it, and if an exception is raised -- the \"handler\" is executed, with the value of the exception passed as an -- argument. Otherwise, the result is returned as normal. For example: -- -- > catch (openFile f ReadMode) -- > (\e -> hPutStr stderr ("Couldn't open "++f++": " ++ show e)) -- -- For catching exceptions in pure (non-'IO') expressions, see the -- function 'evaluate'. -- -- Note that due to Haskell\'s unspecified evaluation order, an -- expression may return one of several possible exceptions: consider -- the expression @error \"urk\" + 1 \`div\` 0@. Does -- 'catch' execute the handler passing -- @ErrorCall \"urk\"@, or @ArithError DivideByZero@? -- -- The answer is \"either\": 'catch' makes a -- non-deterministic choice about which exception to catch. If you -- call it again, you might get a different exception back. This is -- ok, because 'catch' is an 'IO' computation. -- -- Note that 'catch' catches all types of exceptions, and is generally -- used for \"cleaning up\" before passing on the exception using -- 'throwIO'. It is not good practice to discard the exception and -- continue, without first checking the type of the exception (it -- might be a 'ThreadKilled', for example). In this case it is usually better -- to use 'catchJust' and select the kinds of exceptions to catch. -- -- Also note that the "Prelude" also exports a function called -- 'Prelude.catch' with a similar type to 'Control.Exception.catch', -- except that the "Prelude" version only catches the IO and user -- families of exceptions (as required by Haskell 98). -- -- We recommend either hiding the "Prelude" version of 'Prelude.catch' -- when importing "Control.Exception": -- -- > import Prelude hiding (catch) -- -- or importing "Control.Exception" qualified, to avoid name-clashes: -- -- > import qualified Control.Exception as C -- -- and then using @C.catch@ -- catch :: Exception e => IO a -- ^ The computation to run -> (e -> IO a) -- ^ Handler to invoke if an exception is raised -> IO a catch io handler = io `E.catch` handler' where handler' e = case fromException (toException e) of Just e' -> -- Handle the case where e == E.Exception, -- or one of the types that make up E.Exception handler e' Nothing -> case e of E.DynException dyn -> case fromDynamic dyn of Just (SomeException exc) -> case cast exc of Just e' -> -- Handle the case where we have -- a new exception type encoded -- as a Dynamic handler e' Nothing -> E.throw e Nothing -> E.throw e _ -> E.throw e -- | When you want to acquire a resource, do some work with it, and -- then release the resource, it is a good idea to use 'bracket', -- because 'bracket' will install the necessary exception handler to -- release the resource in the event that an exception is raised -- during the computation.

'StackOverflow' and 'HeapOverflow' are two examples of system-generated asynchronous exceptions. The primary source of asynchronous exceptions, however, is 'throwTo': > throwTo :: ThreadId -> Exception -> IO () 'throwTo' (also 'throwDynTo' and 'Control.Concurrent.killThread') allows one running thread to raise an arbitrary exception in another thread. The exception is therefore asynchronous with respect to the target thread, which could be doing anything at the time it receives the exception. Great care should be taken with asynchronous exceptions; it is all too easy to introduce race conditions by the over zealous use of 'throwTo'. -} {- $block_handler There\'s an implied 'block' around every exception handler in a call to one of the 'catch' family of functions. This is because that is what you want most of the time - it eliminates a common race condition in starting an exception handler, because there may be no exception handler on the stack to handle another exception if one arrives immediately. If asynchronous exceptions are blocked on entering the handler, though, we have time to install a new exception handler before being interrupted. If this weren\'t the default, one would have to write something like > block ( > catch (unblock (...)) > (\e -> handler) > ) If you need to unblock asynchronous exceptions again in the exception handler, just use 'unblock' as normal. Note that 'try' and friends /do not/ have a similar default, because there is no exception handler in this case. If you want to use 'try' in an asynchronous-exception-safe way, you will need to use 'block'. -} {- $interruptible Some operations are /interruptible/, which means that they can receive asynchronous exceptions even in the scope of a 'block'. Any function which may itself block is defined as interruptible; this includes 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' (but not 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.tryTakeMVar'), and most operations which perform some I\/O with the outside world. The reason for having interruptible operations is so that we can write things like > block ( > a <- takeMVar m > catch (unblock (...)) > (\e -> ...) > ) if the 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' was not interruptible, then this particular combination could lead to deadlock, because the thread itself would be blocked in a state where it can\'t receive any asynchronous exceptions. With 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' interruptible, however, we can be safe in the knowledge that the thread can receive exceptions right up until the point when the 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' succeeds. Similar arguments apply for other interruptible operations like 'System.IO.openFile'. -} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Exception instance for the legacy Exception type instance Exception E.Exception ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- The new Exception types.
