(** This modules implements basic manipulations of errors for use
    throughout Coq's code. *)

(** {6 Error handling} *)

val push : exn -> Exninfo.iexn
(** Alias for [Backtrace.add_backtrace]. *)

(** {6 Generic errors.}

 [Anomaly] is used for system errors and [UserError] for the
   user's ones. *)

val make_anomaly : ?label:string -> std_ppcmds -> exn
(** Create an anomaly. *)

val anomaly : ?loc:Loc.t -> ?label:string -> std_ppcmds -> 'a
(** Raise an anomaly, with an optional location and an optional
    label identifying the anomaly. *)

val is_anomaly : exn -> bool
(** Check whether a given exception is an anomaly.
    This is mostly provided for compatibility. Please avoid doing specific
    tricks with anomalies thanks to it. See rather [noncritical] below. *)

exception UserError of string option * std_ppcmds
(** Main error signaling exception. It carries a header plus a pretty printing
    doc *)

val user_err : ?loc:Loc.t -> ?hdr:string -> std_ppcmds -> 'a
(** Main error raising primitive. [user_err ?loc ?hdr pp] signals an
    error [pp] with optional header and location [hdr] [loc] *)

val error : string -> 'a
(** [error s] just calls [user_error "_" (str s)] *)

exception AlreadyDeclared of std_ppcmds
val alreadydeclared : std_ppcmds -> 'a

val invalid_arg : ?loc:Loc.t -> string -> 'a

(** [todo] is for running of an incomplete code its implementation is
   "do nothing" (or print a message), but this function should not be
   used in a released code *)

val todo : string -> unit

exception Timeout
exception Drop
exception Quit

(** [register_handler h] registers [h] as a handler.
    When an expression is printed with [print e], it
    goes through all registered handles (the most
    recent first) until a handle deals with it.

    Handles signal that they don't deal with some exception
    by raising [Unhandled].

    Handles can raise exceptions themselves, in which
    case, the exception is passed to the handles which
    were registered before.

    The exception that are considered anomalies should not be
    handled by registered handlers.
*)

exception Unhandled

val register_handler : (exn -> Pp.std_ppcmds) -> unit

(** The standard exception printer *)
val print : ?info:Exninfo.info -> exn -> Pp.std_ppcmds
val iprint : Exninfo.iexn -> Pp.std_ppcmds

(** Same as [print], except that the "Please report" part of an anomaly
    isn't printed (used in Ltac debugging). *)
val print_no_report : exn -> Pp.std_ppcmds
val iprint_no_report : Exninfo.iexn -> Pp.std_ppcmds

(** Critical exceptions should not be caught and ignored by mistake
    by inner functions during a [vernacinterp]. They should be handled
    only in [Toplevel.do_vernac] (or Ideslave), to be displayed to the user.
    Typical example: [Sys.Break], [Assert_failure], [Anomaly] ...
*)
val noncritical : exn -> bool

(** Check whether an exception is handled by some toplevel printer. The
    [Anomaly] exception is never handled. *)
val handled : exn -> bool

(** Prints info which is either an error or
   an anomaly and then exits with the appropriate
   error code *)
