Exception

Synopsis

Documentation

catchIO :: IO a -> (IOException -> IO a) -> IO aSource

handleIO :: (IOException -> IO a) -> IO a -> IO aSource

class MonadIO m => ExceptionMonad m whereSource

A monad that can catch exceptions. A minimal definition requires a definition of gcatch.

Implementations on top of IO should implement gmask to eventually call the primitive mask. These are used for implementations that support asynchronous exceptions. The default implementations of gbracket and gfinally use gmask thus rarely require overriding.

Methods

gcatch :: Exception e => m a -> (e -> m a) -> m aSource

Generalised version of catch, allowing an arbitrary exception handling monad instead of just IO.

gmask :: ((m a -> m a) -> m b) -> m bSource

Generalised version of mask_, allowing an arbitrary exception handling monad instead of just IO.

gbracket :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> (a -> m c) -> m cSource

Generalised version of bracket, allowing an arbitrary exception handling monad instead of just IO.

gfinally :: m a -> m b -> m aSource

Generalised version of finally, allowing an arbitrary exception handling monad instead of just IO.

gtry :: (ExceptionMonad m, Exception e) => m a -> m (Either e a)Source

ghandle :: (ExceptionMonad m, Exception e) => (e -> m a) -> m a -> m aSource

Generalised version of handle, allowing an arbitrary exception handling monad instead of just IO.

gonException :: ExceptionMonad m => m a -> m b -> m aSource

Always executes the first argument. If this throws an exception the second argument is executed and the exception is raised again.
