35 | RecSelError String -- Selecting a non-existent field
36 | RecConError String -- Field missing in record construction
37 | RecUpdError String -- Record doesn't contain updated field

90 throw :: Exception -> a
95 throw exception = raise# exception
99 catch handles the passing around of the state in the IO monad; if we
100 don't actually apply (and hence run) an IO computation, we don't get
101 any exceptions! Hence a large mantrap to watch out for is
103 catch# (m :: IO ()) (handler :: NDSet Exception -> IO ())
105 since the computation 'm' won't actually be performed in the context
106 of the 'catch#'. In fact, don't use catch# at all.
109 catchException :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a
111 catchException m k = ST (\s -> unST m s `primCatch'` \ err -> unST (k err) s)
113 catchException m k = IO $ \s -> case catch# (liftIO m s) (\exs -> liftIO (k exs) s)
114 of STret s1 r -> (# s1, r #)
117 catch :: IO a -> (IOError -> IO a) -> IO a
118 catch m k = catchException m handler
119 where handler (IOException err) = k err
120 handler other = throw other
122 catchNonIO :: IO a -> (Exception -> IO a) -> IO a
123 catchNonIO m k = catchException m handler
124 where handler (IOException err) = ioError err
125 handler other = k other
129 Why is this stuff here? To avoid recursive module dependencies of
133 ioError :: IOError -> IO a
134 ioError err = throw (IOException err)
