Contents

Description

Control.Exception provides an example of a large open hierarchy that we can model with prisms and isomorphisms.

Additional combinators for working with IOException results can be found in System.IO.Error.Lens.

The combinators in this module have been generalized to work with MonadCatch instead of just IO. This enables them to be used more easily in Monad transformer stacks.

Synopsis

Handling

catching :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r Source

Catch exceptions that match a given Prism (or any Fold, really).

>>> catching _AssertionFailed (assert False (return "uncaught")) $ \ _ -> return "caught"
"caught"
catching :: MonadCatch m => Prism' SomeException a     -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r
catching :: MonadCatch m => Lens' SomeException a      -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r
catching :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r
catching :: MonadCatch m => Iso' SomeException a       -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r
catching :: MonadCatch m => Getter SomeException a     -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r
catching :: MonadCatch m => Fold SomeException a       -> m r -> (a -> m r) -> m r

catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> m r -> m r -> m r Source

Catch exceptions that match a given Prism (or any Getter), discarding the information about the match. This is particuarly useful when you have a Prism' e () where the result of the Prism or Fold isn't particularly valuable, just the fact that it matches.

>>> catching_ _AssertionFailed (assert False (return "uncaught")) $ return "caught"
"caught"
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Prism' SomeException a     -> m r -> m r -> m r
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Lens' SomeException a      -> m r -> m r -> m r
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> m r -> m r
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Iso' SomeException a       -> m r -> m r -> m r
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Getter SomeException a     -> m r -> m r -> m r
catching_ :: MonadCatch m => Fold SomeException a       -> m r -> m r -> m r

handling :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r Source

A version of catching with the arguments swapped around; useful in situations where the code for the handler is shorter.

>>> handling _NonTermination (\_ -> return "caught") $ throwIO NonTermination
"caught"
handling :: MonadCatch m => Prism' SomeException a     -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r
handling :: MonadCatch m => Lens' SomeException a      -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r
handling :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r
handling :: MonadCatch m => Iso' SomeException a       -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r
handling :: MonadCatch m => Fold SomeException a       -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r
handling :: MonadCatch m => Getter SomeException a     -> (a -> m r) -> m r -> m r

handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> m r -> m r -> m r Source

A version of catching_ with the arguments swapped around; useful in situations where the code for the handler is shorter.

>>> handling_ _NonTermination (return "caught") $ throwIO NonTermination
"caught"
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Prism' SomeException a     -> m r -> m r -> m r
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Lens' SomeException a      -> m r -> m r -> m r
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> m r -> m r
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Iso' SomeException a       -> m r -> m r -> m r
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Getter SomeException a     -> m r -> m r -> m r
handling_ :: MonadCatch m => Fold SomeException a       -> m r -> m r -> m r

Trying

trying :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r) Source

A variant of try that takes a Prism (or any Fold) to select which exceptions are caught (c.f. tryJust, catchJust). If the Exception does not match the predicate, it is re-thrown.

trying :: MonadCatch m => Prism'     SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)
trying :: MonadCatch m => Lens'      SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)
trying :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)
trying :: MonadCatch m => Iso'       SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)
trying :: MonadCatch m => Getter     SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)
trying :: MonadCatch m => Fold       SomeException a -> m r -> m (Either a r)

trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Getting (First a) SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r) Source

A version of trying that discards the specific exception thrown.

trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Prism'     SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)
trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Lens'      SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)
trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)
trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Iso'       SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)
trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Getter     SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)
trying_ :: MonadCatch m => Fold       SomeException a -> m r -> m (Maybe r)

Throwing

throwing :: AReview SomeException b -> b -> r Source

Throw an Exception described by a Prism. Exceptions may be thrown from purely functional code, but may only be caught within the IO Monad.

throwing l ≡ reviews l throw
throwing :: Prism' SomeException t -> t -> r
throwing :: Iso' SomeException t   -> t -> r

throwingM :: MonadThrow m => AReview SomeException b -> b -> m r Source

A variant of throwing that can only be used within the IO Monad (or any other MonadCatch instance) to throw an Exception described by a Prism.

Although throwingM has a type that is a specialization of the type of throwing, the two functions are subtly different:

throwing l e `seq` x  ≡ throwing e
throwingM l e `seq` x ≡ x

The first example will cause the Exception e to be raised, whereas the second one won't. In fact, throwingM will only cause an Exception to be raised when it is used within the MonadCatch instance. The throwingM variant should be used in preference to throwing to raise an Exception within the Monad because it guarantees ordering with respect to other monadic operations, whereas throwing does not.

throwingM l ≡ reviews l throw
throwingM :: MonadThrow m => Prism' SomeException t -> t -> m r
throwingM :: MonadThrow m => Iso' SomeException t   -> t -> m r

throwingTo :: MonadIO m => ThreadId -> AReview SomeException b -> b -> m () Source

throwingTo raises an Exception specified by a Prism in the target thread.

throwingTo thread l ≡ reviews l (throwTo thread)
throwingTo :: ThreadId -> Prism' SomeException t -> t -> m a
throwingTo :: ThreadId -> Iso' SomeException t   -> t -> m a

Mapping

mappedException :: (Exception e, Exception e') => Setter s s e e' Source

This Setter can be used to purely map over the Exceptions an arbitrary expression might throw; it is a variant of mapException in the same way that mapped is a variant of fmap.

'mapException' ≡ 'over' 'mappedException'

This view that every Haskell expression can be regarded as carrying a bag of Exceptions is detailed in “A Semantics for Imprecise Exceptions” by Peyton Jones & al. at PLDI ’99.

The following maps failed assertions to arithmetic overflow:

>>> handling _Overflow (\_ -> return "caught") $ assert False (return "uncaught") & mappedException %~ \ (AssertionFailed _) -> Overflow
"caught"

mappedException' :: Exception e' => Setter s s SomeException e' Source

This is a type restricted version of mappedException, which avoids the type ambiguity in the input Exception when using set.

The following maps any exception to arithmetic overflow:

>>> handling _Overflow (\_ -> return "caught") $ assert False (return "uncaught") & mappedException' .~ Overflow
"caught"

Exceptions

exception :: Exception a => Prism' SomeException a Source

Traverse the strongly typed Exception contained in SomeException where the type of your function matches the desired Exception.

exception :: (Applicative f, Exception a)
          => (a -> f a) -> SomeException -> f SomeException

pattern Exception :: () => Exception t => t -> SomeException Source

Exception Handlers

class Handleable e m h | h -> e m where Source

Both exceptions and Control.Exception provide a Handler type.

This lets us write combinators to build handlers that are agnostic about the choice of which of these they use.

Minimal complete definition

handler

Methods

handler :: Typeable a => Getting (First a) e a -> (a -> m r) -> h r Source

This builds a Handler for just the targets of a given Prism (or any Getter, really).

catches ... [ handler _AssertionFailed (s -> print $ "Assertion Failed\n" ++ s)
            , handler _ErrorCall (s -> print $ "Error\n" ++ s)
            ]

This works ith both the Handler type provided by Control.Exception:

handler :: Getter     SomeException a -> (a -> IO r) -> Handler r
handler :: Fold       SomeException a -> (a -> IO r) -> Handler r
handler :: Prism'     SomeException a -> (a -> IO r) -> Handler r
handler :: Lens'      SomeException a -> (a -> IO r) -> Handler r
handler :: Traversal' SomeException a -> (a -> IO r) -> Handler r

and with the Handler type provided by Control.Monad.Catch:

handler :: Getter     SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler m r
handler :: Fold       SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler m r
handler :: Prism'     SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler m r
handler :: Lens'      SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler m r
handler :: Traversal' SomeException a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler m r

and with the Handler type provided by Control.Monad.Error.Lens:

handler :: Getter     e a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler e m r
handler :: Fold       e a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler e m r
handler :: Prism'     e a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler e m r
handler :: Lens'      e a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler e m r
handler :: Traversal' e a -> (a -> m r) -> Handler e m r

handler_ :: Typeable a => Getting (First a) e a -> m r -> h r Source

This builds a Handler for just the targets of a given Prism (or any Getter, really). that ignores its input and just recovers with the stated monadic action.

catches ... [ handler_ _NonTermination (return "looped")
            , handler_ _StackOverflow (return "overflow")
            ]

This works with the Handler type provided by Control.Exception:

handler_ :: Getter     SomeException a -> IO r -> Handler r
handler_ :: Fold       SomeException a -> IO r -> Handler r
handler_ :: Prism'     SomeException a -> IO r -> Handler r
handler_ :: Lens'      SomeException a -> IO r -> Handler r
handler_ :: Traversal' SomeException a -> IO r -> Handler r

and with the Handler type provided by Control.Monad.Catch:

handler_ :: Getter     SomeException a -> m r -> Handler m r
handler_ :: Fold       SomeException a -> m r -> Handler m r
handler_ :: Prism'     SomeException a -> m r -> Handler m r
handler_ :: Lens'      SomeException a -> m r -> Handler m r
handler_ :: Traversal' SomeException a -> m r -> Handler m r

and with the Handler type provided by Control.Monad.Error.Lens:

handler_ :: Getter     e a -> m r -> Handler e m r
handler_ :: Fold       e a -> m r -> Handler e m r
handler_ :: Prism'     e a -> m r -> Handler e m r
handler_ :: Lens'      e a -> m r -> Handler e m r
handler_ :: Traversal' e a -> m r -> Handler e m r

IOExceptions

class AsIOException t where Source

Exceptions that occur in the IO Monad. An IOException records a more specific error type, a descriptive string and maybe the handle that was used when the error was flagged.

Due to their richer structure relative to other exceptions, these have a more carefully overloaded signature.

Minimal complete definition

Nothing

Methods

_IOException :: Prism' t IOException Source

Unfortunately the name ioException is taken by base for throwing IOExceptions.

_AssertionFailed :: Prism' SomeException   String

pattern AssertionFailed_ :: () => AsAssertionFailed s => String -> s Source

Async Exceptions

_StackOverflow :: AsAsyncException t => Prism' t () Source

The current thread's stack exceeded its limit. Since an Exception has been raised, the thread's stack will certainly be below its limit again, but the programmer should take remedial action immediately.

_StackOverflow :: Prism' AsyncException ()
_StackOverflow :: Prism' SomeException  ()

_HeapOverflow :: AsAsyncException t => Prism' t () Source

The program's heap is reaching its limit, and the program should take action to reduce the amount of live data it has.

Notes:

  • It is undefined which thread receives this Exception.
  • GHC currently does not throw HeapOverflow exceptions.
_HeapOverflow :: Prism' AsyncException ()
_HeapOverflow :: Prism' SomeException  ()

_ThreadKilled :: AsAsyncException t => Prism' t () Source

This Exception is raised by another thread calling killThread, or by the system if it needs to terminate the thread for some reason.

_ThreadKilled :: Prism' AsyncException ()
_ThreadKilled :: Prism' SomeException  ()

_UserInterrupt :: AsAsyncException t => Prism' t () Source

This Exception is raised by default in the main thread of the program when the user requests to terminate the program via the usual mechanism(s) (e.g. Control-C in the console).
