Control.Exception.Lifted

This is a wrapped version of Control.Exception with types generalized from IO to all monads in either MonadBase or MonadBaseControl.

Documentation

assert :: Bool -> a -> a

If the first argument evaluates to True, then the result is the second argument. Otherwise an AssertionFailed exception is raised, containing a String with the source file and line number of the call to assert.

Assertions can normally be turned on or off with a compiler flag (for GHC, assertions are normally on unless optimisation is turned on with -O or the -fignore-asserts option is given). When assertions are turned off, the first argument to assert is ignored, and the second argument is returned as the result.

mapException :: (Exception e1, Exception e2) => (e1 -> e2) -> a -> a

This function maps one exception into another as proposed in the paper "A semantics for imprecise exceptions".

data AsyncException

Asynchronous exceptions.

Constructors

StackOverflow

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.

HeapOverflow

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 throws this to the same thread that receives UserInterrupt, but this may change in the future.
• The GHC RTS currently can only recover from heap overflow if it detects that an explicit memory limit (set via RTS flags). has been exceeded. Currently, failure to allocate memory from the operating system results in immediate termination of the program.

ThreadKilled

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

UserInterrupt

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).

Methods

toException :: IOException -> SomeException

fromException :: SomeException -> Maybe IOException

displayException :: IOException -> String

throw :: Exception e => e -> a

Throw an exception. Exceptions may be thrown from purely functional code, but may only be caught within the IO monad.

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

Any type that you wish to throw or catch as an exception must be an instance of the Exception class. The simplest case is a new exception type directly below the root:

data MyException = ThisException | ThatException
    deriving Show

instance Exception MyException

The default method definitions in the Exception class do what we need in this case. You can now throw and catch ThisException and ThatException as exceptions:

*Main> throw ThisException `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: MyException))
Caught ThisException

In more complicated examples, you may wish to define a whole hierarchy of exceptions:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Make the root exception type for all the exceptions in a compiler

data SomeCompilerException = forall e . Exception e => SomeCompilerException e

instance Show SomeCompilerException where
    show (SomeCompilerException e) = show e

instance Exception SomeCompilerException

compilerExceptionToException :: Exception e => e -> SomeException
compilerExceptionToException = toException . SomeCompilerException

compilerExceptionFromException :: Exception e => SomeException -> Maybe e
compilerExceptionFromException x = do
    SomeCompilerException a <- fromException x
    cast a

---------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Make a subhierarchy for exceptions in the frontend of the compiler

data SomeFrontendException = forall e . Exception e => SomeFrontendException e

instance Show SomeFrontendException where
    show (SomeFrontendException e) = show e

instance Exception SomeFrontendException where
    toException = compilerExceptionToException
    fromException = compilerExceptionFromException

frontendExceptionToException :: Exception e => e -> SomeException
frontendExceptionToException = toException . SomeFrontendException

frontendExceptionFromException :: Exception e => SomeException -> Maybe e
frontendExceptionFromException x = do
    SomeFrontendException a <- fromException x
    cast a

---------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Make an exception type for a particular frontend compiler exception

data MismatchedParentheses = MismatchedParentheses
    deriving Show

instance Exception MismatchedParentheses where
    toException   = frontendExceptionToException
    fromException = frontendExceptionFromException

We can now catch a MismatchedParentheses exception as MismatchedParentheses, SomeFrontendException or SomeCompilerException, but not other types, e.g. IOException:

*Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: MismatchedParentheses))
Caught MismatchedParentheses
*Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeFrontendException))
Caught MismatchedParentheses
*Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeCompilerException))
Caught MismatchedParentheses
*Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: IOException))
*** Exception: MismatchedParentheses

computation to run first ("acquire resource")

-> (a -> m b)

computation to run last ("release resource")

-> (a -> m c)

computation to run in-between

-> m c

Generalized version of bracket.

Note:

• When the "acquire" or "release" computations throw exceptions any monadic side effects in m will be discarded.
• When the "in-between" computation throws an exception any monadic side effects in m produced by that computation will be discarded but the side effects of the "acquire" or "release" computations will be retained.
• Also, any monadic side effects in m of the "release" computation will be discarded; it is run only for its side effects in IO.

Note that when your acquire and release computations are of type IO it will be more efficient to write:

liftBaseOp (bracket acquire release)

bracket_

Arguments

:: (MonadBaseControl m, Base m ~ IO)

=> m a

computation to run first ("acquire resource")

-> m b

computation to run last ("release resource")

-> m c

computation to run in-between

-> m c

Generalized version of bracket_.

Note any monadic side effects in m of both the "acquire" and "release" computations will be discarded. To keep the monadic side effects of the "acquire" computation, use bracket with constant functions instead.

Note that when your acquire and release computations are of type IO it will be more efficient to write:

liftBaseOp_ (bracket_ acquire release)

bracketOnError

Arguments

:: (MonadBaseControl m, Base m ~ IO)

=> m a

computation to run first ("acquire resource")

-> (a -> m b)

computation to run last ("release resource")

-> (a -> m c)

computation to run in-between

-> m c

Generalized version of bracketOnError.

Note:

• When the "acquire" or "release" computations throw exceptions any monadic side effects in m will be discarded.
• When the "in-between" computation throws an exception any monadic side effects in m produced by that computation will be discarded but the side effects of the "acquire" computation will be retained.
• Also, any monadic side effects in m of the "release" computation will be discarded; it is run only for its side effects in IO.

Note that when your acquire and release computations are of type IO it will be more efficient to write:

liftBaseOp (bracketOnError acquire release)

Utilities

finally

Arguments

:: (MonadBaseControl m, Base m ~ IO)

=> m a

computation to run first

-> m b

computation to run afterward (even if an exception was raised)

-> m a

Generalized version of finally.

Note, any monadic side effects in m of the "afterward" computation will be discarded.

onException :: (MonadBaseControl m, Base m ~ IO) => m a -> m b -> m a

Generalized version of onException.

Note, any monadic side effects in m of the "afterward" computation will be discarded.
