Language.C.Data.Error

Contents

Description

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]"

Synopsis

Severity Level

data ErrorLevel Source

Error levels (severity)

isHardError :: Error ex => ex -> Bool Source

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

Error class

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

errors in Language.C are instance of Error

Minimal complete definition

errorInfo

Methods

errorInfo :: e -> ErrorInfo Source

obtain source location etc. of an error

toError :: e -> CError Source

wrap error in CError

fromError :: CError -> Maybe e Source

try to cast a generic CError to the specific error type

changeErrorLevel :: e -> ErrorLevel -> e Source

modify the error level

errorPos :: Error e => e -> Position Source

position of an Error

errorLevel :: Error e => e -> ErrorLevel Source

severity level of an Error

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

message lines of an Error

Error supertype

data CError Source

supertype of all errors

Constructors

forall err . Error err => CError err 

Infos attached to errors

data ErrorInfo Source

information attached to every error in Language.C

showErrorInfo :: String -> ErrorInfo -> String Source

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>

Default error types

data UnsupportedFeature Source

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

data UserError Source

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

Raising internal errors

internalErr :: String -> a Source

raise a fatal internal error; message may have multiple lines
