(** * Low-level management of OCaml backtraces.
Currently, OCaml manages its backtraces in a very imperative way. That is to
say, it only keeps track of the stack destroyed by the last raised exception.
So we have to be very careful when using this module not to do silly things.
Basically, you need to manually handle the reraising of exceptions. In order
to do so, each time the backtrace is lost, you must [push] the stack fragment.
This essentially occurs whenever a [with] handler is crossed.
*)
(** {5 Backtrace information} *)
type location = {
loc_filename : string;
loc_line : int;
loc_start : int;
loc_end : int;
}
(** OCaml debugging information for function calls. *)
type frame = { frame_location : location option; frame_raised : bool; }
(** A frame contains two informations: its optional physical location, and
whether it raised the exception or let it pass through. *)
type t = frame list option
(** Type of backtraces. They're just stack of frames. [None] indicates that we
don't care about recording the backtraces. *)
val empty : t
(** Empty frame stack. *)
val none : t
(** Frame stack that will not register anything. *)
val push : t -> t
(** Add the current backtrace information to a given backtrace. *)
(** {5 Utilities} *)
val print_frame : frame -> string
(** Represent a frame. *)
(** {5 Exception handling} *)
val register_backtrace_handler : (exn -> exn option) -> unit
(** Add a handler to enrich backtrace information that may be carried by
exceptions. If the handler returns [None], this means that it is not its
duty to handle this one. Otherwise, the new exception will be used by the
functions thereafter instead of the original one.
Handlers are called in the reverse order of their registration. If no
handler match, the original exception is returned.
*)
val push_exn : exn -> exn
(** Add the current backtrace information to the given exception, using the
registered handlers.
The intended use case is of the form: {[
try foo
with
| Bar -> bar
| err -> let err = push_exn err in baz
]}
WARNING: any intermediate code between the [with] and the handler may
modify the backtrace. Yes, that includes [when] clauses. Ideally, what you
should do is something like: {[
try foo
with err ->
let err = push_exn err in
match err with
| Bar -> bar
| err -> baz
]}
I admit that's a bit heavy, but there is not much to do...
*)
val reraise : exn -> 'a
(** Convenience function which covers a generic pattern in Coq code.
[reraise e] is equivalent to [raise (push_exn e)].
The intended use case is of the form: {[
try foo
with
| Bar -> bar
| err -> reraise err
]}
*)
