Data.Iteratee.Exception
Description
Monadic and General Iteratees: Messaging and exception handling.
Iteratees use an internal exception handling mechanism that is parallel to
that provided by Exception. This allows the iteratee framework
to handle its own exceptions outside IO.
Iteratee exceptions are divided into two categories, IterException and
EnumException. IterExceptions are exceptions within an iteratee, and
EnumExceptions are exceptions within an enumerator.
Enumerators can be constructed to handle an IterException with
Data.Iteratee.Iteratee.enumFromCallbackCatch. If the enumerator detects
an iteratee exception, the enumerator calls the provided exception handler.
The enumerator is then able to continue feeding data to the iteratee,
provided the exception was successfully handled. If the handler could
not handle the exception, the IterException is converted to an
EnumException and processing aborts.
Exceptions can also be cleared by Data.Iteratee.Iteratee.checkErr,
although in this case the iteratee continuation cannot be recovered.
When viewed as Resumable Exceptions, iteratee exceptions provide a means
for iteratees to send control messages to enumerators. The seek
implementation provides an example. Data.Iteratee.Iteratee.seek stores
the current iteratee continuation and throws a SeekException, which
inherits from IterException. Data.Iteratee.IO.enumHandleRandom is
constructed with enumFromCallbackCatch and a handler that performs
an hSeek. Upon receiving the SeekException, enumHandleRandom calls
the handler, checks that it executed properly, and then continues with
the stored continuation.
As the exception hierarchy is open, users can extend it with custom exceptions and exception handlers to implement sophisticated messaging systems based upon resumable exceptions.

Exception types
data IFException
Root of the Iteratee exception hierarchy. IFException derives from
Control.Exception.SomeException. EnumException, IterException,
and all inheritants are descendents of IFException.
Constructors
| forall e . Exception e => IFException e |
Instances
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, Typeable)
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
deriving Typeable
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
deriving Typeable
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 (Typeable, 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 MismatchedParenthesescatche -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: MismatchedParentheses)) Caught MismatchedParentheses *Main> throw MismatchedParenthesescatche -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeFrontendException)) Caught MismatchedParentheses *Main> throw MismatchedParenthesescatche -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeCompilerException)) Caught MismatchedParentheses *Main> throw MismatchedParenthesescatche -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: IOException)) *** Exception: MismatchedParentheses

Functions
enStrExc :: String -> EnumException
Create an EnumException from a string.
iterStrExc :: String -> SomeException
Create an iteratee exception from a string.
This convenience function wraps IterStringException and toException.
wrapIterExc :: IterException -> EnumException

within an Enumerator to signify that it could not handle the
IterException.
