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

    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

    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

    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 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 MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: MismatchedParentheses))
    Caught MismatchedParentheses
    *Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeFrontendException))
    Caught MismatchedParentheses
    *Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: SomeCompilerException))
    Caught MismatchedParentheses
    *Main> throw MismatchedParentheses `catch` \e -> putStrLn ("Caught " ++ show (e :: IOException))
    *** Exception: MismatchedParentheses

Throw an exception. Exceptions may be thrown from purely functional code, but may only be caught within the `IO` monad.

WARNING: You may want to use `throwIO` instead so that your pure code stays exception-free.

data IOException #

Exceptions that occur in the `IO` monad. An `IOException` records a more specific error type, a descriptive string and maybe the handle that was used when the error was flagged.

catch #

Arguments

:: Exception e |
=> IO a | The computation to run
-> (e -> IO a) | Handler to invoke if an exception is raised
-> IO a |

This is the simplest of the exception-catching functions. It takes a single argument, runs it, and if an exception is raised the "handler" is executed, with the value of the exception passed as an argument. Otherwise, the result is returned as normal. For example:

      catch (readFile f)
            (\e -> do let err = show (e :: IOException)
                      hPutStr stderr ("Warning: Couldn't open " ++ f ++ ": " ++ err)
                      return "")

Note that we have to give a type signature to `e`, or the program will not typecheck as the type is ambiguous. While it is possible to catch exceptions of any type, see the section "Catching all exceptions" (in Control.Exception) for an explanation of the problems with doing so.

For catching exceptions in pure (non-`IO`) expressions, see the function `evaluate`.

Note that due to Haskell's unspecified evaluation order, an expression may throw one of several possible exceptions: consider the expression `(error "urk") + (1 `div` 0)`. Does the expression throw `ErrorCall "urk"`, or `DivideByZero`?

The answer is "it might throw either"; the choice is non-deterministic. If you are catching any type of exception then you might catch either. If you are calling `catch` with type `IO Int -> (ArithException -> IO Int) -> IO Int` then the handler may get run with `DivideByZero` as an argument, or an `ErrorCall "urk"` exception may be propagated further up. If you call it again, you might get the opposite behaviour. This is ok, because `catch` is an `IO` computation.

annotateIO :: ExceptionAnnotation e => e -> IO a -> IO a #

Execute an `IO` action, adding the given `ExceptionContext` to any thrown synchronous exceptions.

@since base-2.20.0.0

throwIO :: (HasCallStack, Exception e) => e -> IO a #

A variant of `throw` that can only be used within the `IO` monad.

Although `throwIO` has a type that is an instance of the type of `throw`, the two functions are subtly different:

    throw e   `seq` ()  ===> throw e
    throwIO e `seq` ()  ===> ()

The first example will cause the exception `e` to be raised, whereas the second one won't. In fact, `throwIO` will only cause an exception to be raised when it is used within the `IO` monad.

The `throwIO` variant should be used in preference to `throw` to raise an exception within the `IO` monad because it guarantees ordering with respect to other operations, whereas `throw` does not. We say that `throwIO` throws *precise* exceptions and `throw`, `error`, etc. all throw *imprecise* exceptions. For example

    throw e + error "boom" ===> error "boom"
    throw e + error "boom" ===> throw e

are both valid reductions and the compiler may pick any (loop, even), whereas

    throwIO e >> error "boom" ===> throwIO e

will always throw `e` when executed.

See also the GHC wiki page on precise exceptions for a more technical introduction to how GHC optimises around precise vs. imprecise exceptions.

interruptible :: IO a -> IO a #

Allow asynchronous exceptions to be raised even inside `mask`, making the operation interruptible (see the discussion of "Interruptible operations" in `Exception`).

When called outside `mask`, or inside `uninterruptibleMask`, this function has no effect.

@since base-4.9.0.0

getMaskingState :: IO MaskingState #

Returns the `MaskingState` for the current thread.

onException :: IO a -> IO b -> IO a #

Like `finally`, but only performs the final action if there was an exception raised by the computation.

mask_ :: IO a -> IO a #

Like `mask`, but does not pass a `restore` action to the argument.

mask :: ((forall a. IO a -> IO a) -> IO b) -> IO b #

Executes an IO computation with asynchronous exceptions masked. That is, any thread which attempts to raise an exception in the current thread with `throwTo` will be blocked until asynchronous exceptions are unmasked again.

The argument passed to `mask` is a function that takes as its argument another function, which can be used to restore the prevailing masking state within the context of the masked computation. For example, a common way to use `mask` is to protect the acquisition of a resource:

    mask $ \restore -> do
        x <- acquire
        restore (do_something_with x) `onException` release
        release

This code guarantees that `acquire` is paired with `release`, by masking asynchronous exceptions for the critical parts. (Rather than write this code yourself, it would be better to use `bracket` which abstracts the general pattern).

Note that the `restore` action passed to the argument to `mask` does not necessarily unmask asynchronous exceptions, it just restores the masking state to that of the enclosing context. Thus if asynchronous exceptions are already masked, `mask` cannot be used to unmask exceptions again. This is so that if you call a library function with exceptions masked, you can be sure that the library call will not be able to unmask exceptions again. If you are writing library code and need to use asynchronous exceptions, the only way is to create a new thread; see `forkIOWithUnmask`.

Asynchronous exceptions may still be received while in the masked state if the masked thread blocks in certain ways; see Control.Exception.

Threads created by `forkIO` inherit the `MaskingState` from the parent; that is, to start a thread in the `MaskedInterruptible` state, use `mask_ $ forkIO ...`. This is particularly useful if you need to establish an exception handler in the forked thread before any asynchronous exceptions are received. To create a new thread in an unmasked state use `forkIOWithUnmask`.

uninterruptibleMask_ :: IO a -> IO a #

Like `uninterruptibleMask`, but does not pass a `restore` action to the argument.

uninterruptibleMask :: ((forall a. IO a -> IO a) -> IO b) -> IO b #

Like `mask`, but the masked computation is not interruptible (see Control.Exception). THIS SHOULD BE USED WITH GREAT CARE, because if a thread executing in `uninterruptibleMask` blocks for any reason, then the thread (and possibly the program, if this is the main thread) will be unresponsive and unkillable. This function should only be necessary if you need to mask exceptions around an interruptible operation, and you can guarantee that the interruptible operation will only block for a short period of time.

bracket #

Arguments

:: IO a | computation to run first ("acquire resource")
-> (a -> IO b) | computation to run last ("release resource")
-> (a -> IO c) | computation to run in-between
-> IO c |

When you want to acquire a resource, do some work with it, and then release the resource, it is a good idea to use `bracket`, because `bracket` will install the necessary exception handler to release the resource in the event that an exception is raised during the computation. If an exception is raised, then `bracket` will re-raise the exception (after performing the release).

A common example is opening a file:

    bracket
      (openFile "filename" ReadMode)
      (hClose)
      (\fileHandle -> do { ... })

The arguments to `bracket` are in this order so that we can partially apply it, e.g.:

    withFile name mode = bracket (openFile name mode) hClose

Bracket wraps the release action with `mask`, which is sufficient to ensure that the release action executes to completion when it does not invoke any interruptible actions, even in the presence of asynchronous exceptions. For example, `hClose` is uninterruptible when it is not racing other uses of the handle. Similarly, closing a socket (from "network" package) is also uninterruptible under similar conditions. An example of an interruptible action is `killThread`. Completion of interruptible release actions can be ensured by wrapping them in `uninterruptibleMask_`, but this risks making the program non-responsive to `Control-C`, or timeouts. Another option is to run the release action asynchronously in its own thread:

    void $ uninterruptibleMask_ $ forkIO $ do { ... }

The resource will be released as soon as possible, but the thread that invoked bracket will not block in an uninterruptible state.

finally #

Arguments

:: IO a | computation to run first
-> IO b | computation to run afterward (even if an exception was raised)
-> IO a |

A specialised variant of `bracket` with just a computation to run afterward.

evaluate :: a -> IO a #

Evaluate the argument to weak head normal form.

`evaluate` is typically used to uncover any exceptions that a lazy value may contain, and possibly handle them.

`evaluate` only evaluates to weak head normal form. If deeper evaluation is needed, the `force` function from `Control.DeepSeq` may be handy:

    evaluate $ force x

There is a subtle difference between ``evaluate` x` and ``return` `$!` x`, analogous to the difference between `throwIO` and `throw`. If the lazy value `x` throws an exception, ``return` `$!` x` will fail to return an `IO` action and will throw an exception instead. ``evaluate` x`, on the other hand, always produces an `IO` action; that action will throw an exception upon execution iff `x` throws an exception upon evaluation.

The practical implication of this difference is that due to the imprecise exceptions semantics,

    (return $! error "foo") >> error "bar"

may throw either `"foo"` or `"bar"`, depending on the optimizations performed by the compiler. On the other hand,

    evaluate (error "foo") >> error "bar"

is guaranteed to throw `"foo"`.

The rule of thumb is to use `evaluate` to force or handle exceptions in lazy values. If, on the other hand, you are forcing a lazy value for efficiency reasons only and do not care about exceptions, you may use ``return` `$!` x`.

data AsyncException #

Asynchronous exceptions.

Constructors

StackOverflow | The current thread's stack exceeded its limit. Since an exception has been raised, the thread's stack will certainly be below its limit again, but the programmer should take remedial action immediately.
HeapOverflow | The program's heap is reaching its limit, and the program should take action to reduce the amount of live data it has. Notes: It is undefined which thread receives this exception. GHC currently throws this to the same thread that receives `UserInterrupt`, but this may change in the future. The GHC RTS currently can only recover from heap overflow if it detects that an explicit memory limit (set via RTS flags). has been exceeded. Currently, failure to allocate memory from the operating system results in immediate termination of the program.
ThreadKilled | This exception is raised by another thread calling `killThread`, or by the system if it needs to terminate the thread for some reason.
UserInterrupt | This exception is raised by default in the main thread of the program when the user requests to terminate the program via the usual mechanism(s) (e.g. Control-C in the console).

ioError :: IOError -> IO a #

Raise an `IOError` in the `IO` monad.

throwTo :: Exception e => ThreadId -> e -> IO () #

`throwTo` raises an arbitrary exception in the target thread (GHC only).

Exception delivery synchronizes between the source and target thread: `throwTo` does not return until the exception has been raised in the target thread. The calling thread can thus be certain that the target thread has received the exception. Exception delivery is also atomic with respect to other exceptions. Atomicity is a useful property to have when dealing with race conditions: e.g. if there are two threads that can kill each other, it is guaranteed that only one of the threads will get to kill the other.

Whatever work the target thread was doing when the exception was raised is not lost: the computation is suspended until required by another thread.

If the target thread is currently making a foreign call, then the exception will not be raised (and hence `throwTo` will not return) until the call has completed. This is the case regardless of whether the call is inside a `mask` or not. However, in GHC a foreign call can be annotated as `interruptible`, in which case a `throwTo` will cause the RTS to attempt to cause the call to return; see the GHC documentation for more details.

Important note: the behaviour of `throwTo` differs from that described in the paper "Asynchronous exceptions in Haskell" (http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/Papers/asynch-exns.htm). In the paper, `throwTo` is non-blocking; but the library implementation adopts a more synchronous design in which `throwTo` does not return until the exception is received by the target thread. The trade-off is discussed in Section 9 of the paper. Like any blocking operation, `throwTo` is therefore interruptible (see Section 5.3 of the paper). Unlike other interruptible operations, however, `throwTo` is always interruptible, even if it does not actually block.

There is no guarantee that the exception will be delivered promptly, although the runtime will endeavour to ensure that arbitrary delays don't occur. In GHC, an exception can only be raised when a thread reaches a safe point, where a safe point is where memory allocation occurs. Some loops do not perform any memory allocation inside the loop and therefore cannot be interrupted by a `throwTo`.

If the target of `throwTo` is the calling thread, then the behaviour is the same as `throwIO`, except that the exception is thrown as an asynchronous exception. This means that if there is an enclosing pure computation, which would be the case if the current IO operation is inside `unsafePerformIO` or `unsafeInterleaveIO`, that computation is not permanently replaced by the exception, but is suspended as if it had received an asynchronous exception.

Note that if `throwTo` is called with the current thread as the target, the exception will be thrown even if the thread is currently inside `mask` or `uninterruptibleMask`.

catchJust #

Arguments

:: Exception e |
=> (e -> Maybe b) | Predicate to select exceptions
-> IO a | Computation to run
-> (b -> IO a) | Handler
-> IO a |

The function `catchJust` is like `catch`, but it takes an extra argument which is an exception predicate, a function which selects which type of exceptions we're interested in.

    catchJust (\e -> if isDoesNotExistErrorType (ioeGetErrorType e) then Just () else Nothing)
              (readFile f)
              (\_ -> do hPutStrLn stderr ("No such file: " ++ show f)
                        return "")

Any other exceptions which are not matched by the predicate are re-raised, and may be caught by an enclosing `catch`, `catchJust`, etc.

handle :: Exception e => (e -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a #

A version of `catch` with the arguments swapped around; useful in situations where the code for the handler is shorter. For example:

      do handle (\NonTermination -> exitWith (ExitFailure 1)) $
         ...

handleJust :: Exception e => (e -> Maybe b) -> (b -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO a #

A version of `catchJust` with the arguments swapped around (see `handle`).

mapException :: (Exception e1, Exception e2) => (e1 -> e2) -> a -> a #

This function maps one exception into another as proposed in the paper "A semantics for imprecise exceptions".

try :: Exception e => IO a -> IO (Either e a) #

Similar to `catch`, but returns an `Either` result which is `(`Right` a)` if no exception of type `e` was raised, or `(`Left` ex)` if an exception of type `e` was raised and its value is `ex`. If any other type of exception is raised then it will be propagated up to the next enclosing exception handler.

     try a = catch (Right `liftM` a) (return . Left)

tryJust :: Exception e => (e -> Maybe b) -> IO a -> IO (Either b a) #

A variant of `try` that takes an exception predicate to select which exceptions are caught (c.f. `catchJust`). If the exception does not match the predicate, it is re-thrown.

bracket_ :: IO a -> IO b -> IO c -> IO c #

A variant of `bracket` where the return value from the first computation is not required.

bracketOnError #

Arguments

:: IO a | computation to run first ("acquire resource")
-> (a -> IO b) | computation to run last ("release resource")
-> (a -> IO c) | computation to run in-between
-> IO c |

Like `bracket`, but only performs the final action if there was an exception raised by the in-between computation.

Instance details Defined in GHC.Internal.Control.Exception Methods fmap :: (a -> b) -> Handler a -> Handler b # (<$) :: a -> Handler b -> Handler a #

catches :: IO a -> [Handler a] -> IO a #

Sometimes you want to catch two different sorts of exception. You could do something like

    f = expr `catch` \ (ex :: ArithException) -> handleArith ex
             `catch` \ (ex :: IOException)    -> handleIO    ex

However, there are a couple of problems with this approach. The first is that having two exception handlers is inefficient. However, the more serious issue is that the second exception handler will catch exceptions in the first, e.g. in the example above, if `handleArith` throws an `IOException` then the second exception handler will catch it.

Instead, we provide a function `catches`, which would be used thus:

    f = expr `catches` [Handler (\ (ex :: ArithException) -> handleArith ex),
                        Handler (\ (ex :: IOException)    -> handleIO    ex)]
