Documentation
module Control.Exception
type Partial = HasCallStack Source #
A constraint which documents that a function is partial, and on GHC 8.0 and above produces a stack trace on failure. For example:
myHead :: Partial => [a] -> a
myHead [] = error "bad"
myHead (x:xs) = x
When using Partial with GHC 7.8 or below you need to enable the
language feature ConstraintKinds, e.g. {-# LANGUAGE ConstraintKinds #-}
at the top of the file.
retry :: Int -> IO a -> IO a Source #
Retry an operation at most n times (n must be positive). If the operation fails the nth time it will throw that final exception.
retry 1 (print "x") == print "x" retry 3 (fail "die") == fail "die"
retryBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> Int -> IO a -> IO a Source #
Retry an operation at most n times (n must be positive), while the exception value and type match a predicate. If the operation fails the nth time it will throw that final exception.
errorWithoutStackTrace :: [Char] -> a #
A variant of error that does not produce a stack trace.
Since: 4.9.0.0
showException :: Show e => e -> IO String Source #
Show a value, but if the result contains exceptions, produce
<Exception>. Defined as stringException . show
stringException :: String -> IO String Source #
Fully evaluate an input String. If the String contains embedded exceptions it will produce <Exception>.
stringException "test" == return "test"
stringException ("test" ++ undefined) == return "test<Exception>"
stringException ("test" ++ undefined ++ "hello") == return "test<Exception>"
stringException ['t','e','s','t',undefined] == return "test<Exception>"errorIO :: Partial => String -> IO a Source #
Like error, but in the IO monad.
Note that while fail in IO raises an IOException, this function raises an ErrorCall exception.
try (errorIO "Hello") == return (Left (ErrorCall "Hello"))
displayException :: Exception e => e -> String #
Exception catching/ignoring
ignore :: IO () -> IO () Source #
Ignore any exceptions thrown by the action.
ignore (print 1) == print 1 ignore (fail "die") == return ()
catch_ :: IO a -> (SomeException -> IO a) -> IO a Source #
A version of catch without the Exception context, restricted to SomeException,
so catches all exceptions.
catchJust_ :: (SomeException -> Maybe b) -> IO a -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a Source #
handleJust_ :: (SomeException -> Maybe b) -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a Source #
Like catch_ but for handleJust
catchBool :: Exception e => (e -> Bool) -> IO a -> (e -> IO a) -> IO a Source #
Catch an exception if the predicate passes, then call the handler with the original exception. As an example:
readFileExists x == catchBool isDoesNotExistError (readFile "myfile") (const $ return "")
