Language.C.Data.Error

Base type for errors occurring in parsing, analysing and pretty-printing. With ideas from Simon Marlow's An extensible dynamically-typed hierarchy of execeptions [2006]

Severity Level

data ErrorLevel

Error levels (severity)

Constructors

LevelWarn

LevelError

LevelFatal

Instances

Eq ErrorLevel

Ord ErrorLevel

Show ErrorLevel

isHardError :: Error ex => ex -> Bool

return True when the given error makes it impossible to continue analysis or compilation.

Error class

class (Typeable e, Show e) => Error e where

errors in Language.C are instance of Error

Methods

errorInfo :: e -> ErrorInfo

obtain source location etc. of an error

toError :: e -> CError

wrap error in CError

fromError :: CError -> Maybe e

try to cast a generic CError to the specific error type

changeErrorLevel :: e -> ErrorLevel -> e

modify the error level

Instances

Error UserError

Error UnsupportedFeature

Error CError

Error ErrorInfo

Error TypeMismatch

Error RedefError

Error BadSpecifierError

Error InvalidASTError

errorPos :: Error e => e -> Position

position of an Error

errorLevel :: Error e => e -> ErrorLevel

severity level of an Error

errorMsgs :: Error e => e -> [String]

message lines of an Error

Error supertype

data CError

supertype of all errors

Constructors

forall err . Error err => CError err

Instances

Show CError

Typeable CError

Error CError

Infos attached to errors

data ErrorInfo

information attached to every error in Language.C

Constructors

ErrorInfo ErrorLevel Position [String]

Instances

Show ErrorInfo

Typeable ErrorInfo

Error ErrorInfo

showError :: Error e => String -> e -> String

showErrorInfo :: String -> ErrorInfo -> String

converts an error into a string using a fixed format

• either the lines of the long error message or the short message has to be non-empty
• the format is

    <fname>:<row>: (column <col>) [<err lvl>]
      >>> <line_1>
      <line_2>
        ...
      <line_n>

mkErrorInfo :: ErrorLevel -> String -> NodeInfo -> ErrorInfo

Default error types

data UnsupportedFeature

error raised if a operation requires an unsupported or not yet implemented feature.

Instances

Show UnsupportedFeature

Typeable UnsupportedFeature

Error UnsupportedFeature

unsupportedFeature :: Pos a => String -> a -> UnsupportedFeature

unsupportedFeature_ :: String -> UnsupportedFeature

data UserError

unspecified error raised by the user (in case the user does not want to define her own error types).

Instances

Show UserError

Typeable UserError

Error UserError

userErr :: String -> UserError

Raising internal errors

internalErr :: String -> a

raise a fatal internal error; message may have multiple lines
