* Getting rid of Exninfo hacks.Gravatar Pierre-Marie Pédrot2014-12-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of modifying exceptions to wear additional information, we instead use a dedicated type now. All exception-using functions were modified to support this new type, in particular Future's fix_exn-s and the tactic monad. To solve the problem of enriching exceptions at raise time and recover this data in the try-with handler, we use a global datastructure recording the given piece of data imperatively that we retrieve in the try-with handler. We ensure that such instrumented try-with destroy the data so that there may not be confusion with another exception. To further harden the correction of this structure, we also check for pointer equality with the last raised exception. The global data structure is not thread-safe for now, which is incorrect as the STM uses threads and enriched exceptions. Yet, we splitted the patch in two parts, so that we do not introduce dependencies to the Thread library immediatly. This will allow to revert only the second patch if ever we switch to OCaml-coded lightweight threads.

information worn by exceptions. The implementation is quite hackish but it should work nonetheless. Basically, it adds an additional cell to exceptions arguments, in which you can put whatever you want. By typing invariants, you may not reach this cell by normal means, so it should be safe. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@16212 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7
