SRFI 12 Condition Utilities

Documentation

Convenience API for constructing common Chicken exception conditions, predicates, and accessors.

Argument Conventions

LOC is a symbol, or #f.

MSG is a string, or #f.

ARGS is a list, or #f.

CALL-CHAIN is the result of (get-call-chain), or #f.

CONDITION is a property-condition.

KIND is usually a symbol but not #f.

PROP is usually a symbol but not #f.

CONDITION-SPEC is a:

CONDITION
a condition object
atom
(make-property-condition <atom>) ;see KIND
list
(apply make-property-condition <list>) ;(KIND PROP VALUE ...)

Condition Library

Usage

(import condition-utils)

make-condition+

[procedure] (make-condition+ CONDITION-SPEC...) -> property-condition

Returns a composite-condition CONDITION-SPEC....

make-condition-predicate

[syntax] (make-condition-predicate KIND...) -> (procedure (*) boolean)

Returns a condition-predicate for KIND....

KIND
symbol ;argument is quoted!

condition-predicate*

[procedure] (condition-predicate* KIND) -> (* -> boolean : condition)

Returns a "memoized" condition-predicate for KIND.

KIND
(not false) ;argument is evaluated

make-condition-property-accessor

[syntax] (make-condition-property-accessor KIND PROP [DEFAULT]) -> (procedure (*) boolean)

Returns a condition-property-accessor for KIND PROP. The default value of DEFAULT is #f.

KIND
symbol ;argument is quoted!
PROP
symbol ;argument is quoted!

condition-property-accessor*

[procedure] (condition-property-accessor* KIND PROP [DEFAULT #f]) -> (condition -> *)

Returns a "memoized" condition-property-accessor for KIND.

KIND
(not false) ;argument is evaluated
PROP
(not false) ;argument is evaluated

condition-irritants

[procedure] (condition-irritants CONDITION) -> list

Returns a list of the condition properties for the condition CONDITION. The form of the list, alist vs. plist, is dependent on the result of the system procedure condition->list.

CHICKEN 4
alist
CHICKEN 5
plist

The properties are without associated condition information.

write-condition

[procedure] (write-condition CONDITION [PORT (current-output-port) [HEADER "Error"]])

Produces on PORT the form:

Error: <condition-kind>: <condition-property> ...

   +: <condition-kind>: <condition-property> ...
      ... for a composite condition ...

EXN Condition Library

Usage

(import exn-condition)

make-exn-condition

[procedure] (make-exn-condition [LOC [MSG [ARGS [CALL-CHAIN [ERRNO]]]]]) -> property-condition

Returns an exn property-condition with optional location, arguments, call-chain, and errno property values.

Defaults:

LOC
missing
MSG
"unknown"
ARGS
missing
CALL-CHAIN
missing
ERRNO
missing

Will always include message property in the property-condition.

make-exn-condition*

[procedure] (make-exn-condition* [location:] [message:] [arguments:] [call-chain:] [errno:]) -> property-condition

Returns an exn property-condition with optional location, arguments, call-chain, and errno property values.

Defaults:

location
missing
message
"unknown"
arguments
missing
call-chain:
missing
errno
missing

Will always include message property in the property-condition.

make-exn-condition+

[procedure] (make-exn-condition+ LOC MSG ARGS [CALL-CHAIN] [ERRNO] [CONDITION-SPEC...]) -> property-condition

Returns a composite-condition exn CONDITION-SPEC....

When one-of LOC, MSG, or ARGS is without a useful value in the error context use #f as the actual argument. The optional CALL-CHAIN & ERRNO arguments are detected by type & structure.

When MSG is #f the value "unknown" is used.

write-exn-condition

[procedure] (write-exn-condition CONDITION [PORT (current-output-port) [HEADER "Error" [CHAIN-HEADER "\n\tCall history:\n"]]])

Produces on PORT the form:

Error: (<location - if any>) <message - if any>: <arguments - if any>

   +: <condition-kind>: <condition-property> ...
      ... for a composite condition ...

      Call history:
      <call-chain>

The call-chain may not be available.
