Control.Monad.Catch

Description

This module supports monads that can throw extensible exceptions. The exceptions are the very same from Control.Exception, and the operations offered very similar, but here they are not limited to IO.

This code is in the style of both transformers and mtl, and is compatible with them, though doesn't mimic the module structure or offer the complete range of features in those packages.

This is very similar to ErrorT and MonadError, but based on features of Control.Exception. In particular, it handles the complex case of asynchronous exceptions by including mask in the typeclass. Note that the extensible exceptions feature relies on the RankNTypes language extension.

Synopsis

Typeclass

The mtl style typeclass

class Monad m => MonadThrow m where Source #

A class for monads in which exceptions may be thrown.

Instances should obey the following law:

throwM e >> x = throwM e

In other words, throwing an exception short-circuits the rest of the monadic computation.

Methods

throwM :: Exception e => e -> m a Source #

Throw an exception. Note that this throws when this action is run in the monad m, not when it is applied. It is a generalization of Control.Exception's throwIO.

Should satisfy the law:

throwM e >> f = throwM e

class MonadThrow m => MonadCatch m where Source #

A class for monads which allow exceptions to be caught, in particular exceptions which were thrown by throwM.

Instances should obey the following law:

catch (throwM e) f = f e

Note that the ability to catch an exception does not guarantee that we can deal with all possible exit points from a computation. Some monads, such as continuation-based stacks, allow for more than just a success/failure strategy, and therefore catch cannot be used by those monads to properly implement a function such as finally. For more information, see MonadMask.

Methods

catch :: Exception e => m a -> (e -> m a) -> m a Source #

Provide a handler for exceptions thrown during execution of the first action. Note that type of the type of the argument to the handler will constrain which exceptions are caught. See Control.Exception's catch.

Methods

catch :: Exception e => RWST r w s m a -> (e -> RWST r w s m a) -> RWST r w s m a Source #

class MonadCatch m => MonadMask m where Source #

A class for monads which provide for the ability to account for all possible exit points from a computation, and to mask asynchronous exceptions. Continuation-based monads are invalid instances of this class.

Instances should ensure that, in the following code:

fg = f `finally` g

The action g is called regardless of what occurs within f, including async exceptions. Some monads allow f to abort the computation via other effects than throwing an exception. For simplicity, we will consider aborting and throwing an exception to be two forms of "throwing an error".

If f and g both throw an error, the error thrown by fg depends on which errors we're talking about. In a monad transformer stack, the deeper layers override the effects of the inner layers; for example, ExceptT e1 (Except e2) a represents a value of type Either e2 (Either e1 a), so throwing both an e1 and an e2 will result in Left e2. If f and g both throw an error from the same layer, instances should ensure that the error from g wins.

Effects other than throwing an error are also overriden by the deeper layers. For example, StateT s Maybe a represents a value of type s -> Maybe (a, s), so if an error thrown from f causes this function to return Nothing, any changes to the state which f also performed will be erased. As a result, g will see the state as it was before f. Once g completes, f's error will be rethrown, so g' state changes will be erased as well. This is the normal interaction between effects in a monad transformer stack.

By contrast, lifted-base's version of finally always discards all of g's non-IO effects, and g never sees any of f's non-IO effects, regardless of the layer ordering and regardless of whether f throws an error. This is not the result of interacting effects, but a consequence of MonadBaseControl's approach.

Methods

mask :: ((forall a. m a -> m a) -> m b) -> m b Source #

Runs an action with asynchronous exceptions disabled. The action is provided a method for restoring the async. environment to what it was at the mask call. See Control.Exception's mask.

uninterruptibleMask :: ((forall a. m a -> m a) -> m b) -> m b Source #

Like mask, but the masked computation is not interruptible (see Control.Exception's uninterruptibleMask. WARNING: Only use if you need to mask exceptions around an interruptible operation AND you can guarantee the interruptible operation will only block for a short period of time. Otherwise you render the program/thread unresponsive and/or unkillable.

generalBracket Source #

Arguments

:: m a

acquire some resource

-> (a -> ExitCase b -> m c)

release the resource, observing the outcome of the inner action

-> (a -> m b)

inner action to perform with the resource

-> m (b, c) 

A generalized version of bracket which uses ExitCase to distinguish the different exit cases, and returns the values of both the use and release actions. In practice, this extra information is rarely needed, so it is often more convenient to use one of the simpler functions which are defined in terms of this one, such as bracket, finally, onError, and bracketOnError.

This function exists because in order to thread their effects through the execution of bracket, monad transformers need values to be threaded from use to release and from release to the output value.

NOTE This method was added in version 0.9.0 of this library. Previously, implementation of functions like bracket and finally in this module were based on the mask and uninterruptibleMask functions only, disallowing some classes of tranformers from having MonadMask instances (notably multi-exit-point transformers like ExceptT). If you are a library author, you'll now need to provide an implementation for this method. The StateT implementation demonstrates most of the subtleties:

generalBracket acquire release use = StateT $ s0 -> do
  ((b, _s2), (c, s3)) <- generalBracket
    (runStateT acquire s0)
    ((resource, s1) exitCase -> case exitCase of
      ExitCaseSuccess (b, s2) -> runStateT (release resource (ExitCaseSuccess b)) s2

      -- In the two other cases, the base monad overrides use's state
      -- changes and the state reverts to s1.
      ExitCaseException e     -> runStateT (release resource (ExitCaseException e)) s1
      ExitCaseAbort           -> runStateT (release resource ExitCaseAbort) s1
    )
    ((resource, s1) -> runStateT (use resource) s1)
  return ((b, c), s3)

The StateT s m implementation of generalBracket delegates to the m implementation of generalBracket. The acquire, use, and release arguments given to StateT's implementation produce actions of type StateT s m a, StateT s m b, and StateT s m c. In order to run those actions in the base monad, we need to call runStateT, from which we obtain actions of type m (a, s), m (b, s), and m (c, s). Since each action produces the next state, it is important to feed the state produced by the previous action to the next action.

In the ExitCaseSuccess case, the state starts at s0, flows through acquire to become s1, flows through use to become s2, and finally flows through release to become s3. In the other two cases, release does not receive the value s2, so its action cannot see the state changes performed by use. This is fine, because in those two cases, an error was thrown in the base monad, so as per the usual interaction between effects in a monad transformer stack, those state changes get reverted. So we start from s1 instead.

Finally, the m implementation of generalBracket returns the pairs (b, s) and (c, s). For monad transformers other than StateT, this will be some other type representing the effects and values performed and returned by the use and release actions. The effect part of the use result, in this case _s2, usually needs to be discarded, since those effects have already been incorporated in the release action.

The only effect which is intentionally not incorporated in the release action is the effect of throwing an error. In that case, the error must be re-thrown. One subtlety which is easy to miss is that in the case in which use and release both throw an error, the error from release should take priority. Here is an implementation for ExceptT which demonstrates how to do this.

generalBracket acquire release use = ExceptT $ do
  (eb, ec) <- generalBracket
    (runExceptT acquire)
    (eresource exitCase -> case eresource of
      Left e -> return (Left e) -- nothing to release, acquire didn't succeed
      Right resource -> case exitCase of
        ExitCaseSuccess (Right b) -> runExceptT (release resource (ExitCaseSuccess b))
        ExitCaseException e       -> runExceptT (release resource (ExitCaseException e))
        _                         -> runExceptT (release resource ExitCaseAbort))
    (either (return . Left) (runExceptT . use))
  return $ do
    -- The order in which we perform those two Either effects determines
    -- which error will win if they are both Lefts. We want the error from
    -- release to win.
    c <- ec
    b <- eb
    return (b, c)

Utilities

These functions follow those from Control.Exception, except that they are based on methods from the MonadCatch typeclass. See Control.Exception for API usage.

mask_ :: MonadMask m => m a -> m a Source #

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

uninterruptibleMask_ :: MonadMask m => m a -> m a Source #

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

catchAll :: MonadCatch m => m a -> (SomeException -> m a) -> m a Source #

Catches all exceptions, and somewhat defeats the purpose of the extensible exception system. Use sparingly.

NOTE This catches all exceptions, but if the monad supports other ways of aborting the computation, those other kinds of errors will not be caught.

catchIOError :: MonadCatch m => m a -> (IOError -> m a) -> m a Source #

Catch all IOError (eqv. IOException) exceptions. Still somewhat too general, but better than using catchAll. See catchIf for an easy way of catching specific IOErrors based on the predicates in System.IO.Error.

catchJust :: (MonadCatch m, Exception e) => (e -> Maybe b) -> m a -> (b -> m a) -> m a Source #

A more generalized way of determining which exceptions to catch at run time.

catchIf :: (MonadCatch m, Exception e) => (e -> Bool) -> m a -> (e -> m a) -> m a Source #

Catch exceptions only if they pass some predicate. Often useful with the predicates for testing IOError values in System.IO.Error.

Flipped catchIf

try :: (MonadCatch m, Exception e) => m a -> m (Either e a) Source #

Similar to catch, but returns an Either result. See Control.Exception's try.

tryJust :: (MonadCatch m, Exception e) => (e -> Maybe b) -> m a -> m (Either b a) Source #

A variant of try that takes an exception predicate to select which exceptions are caught. See Control.Exception's tryJust

onException :: MonadCatch m => m a -> m b -> m a Source #

Run an action only if an exception is thrown in the main action. The exception is not caught, simply rethrown.

NOTE The action is only run if an exception is thrown. If the monad supports other ways of aborting the computation, the action won't run if those other kinds of errors are thrown. See onError.

onError :: MonadMask m => m a -> m b -> m a Source #

Run an action only if an error is thrown in the main action. Unlike onException, this works with every kind of error, not just exceptions. For example, if f is an ExceptT computation which aborts with a Left, the computation onError f g will execute g, while onException f g will not.

This distinction is only meaningful for monads which have multiple exit points, such as Except and MaybeT. For monads that only have a single exit point, there is no difference between onException and onError, except that onError has a more constrained type.

Since: exceptions-0.10.0

bracket :: MonadMask m => m a -> (a -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> m b Source #

Generalized abstracted pattern of safe resource acquisition and release in the face of errors. The first action "acquires" some value, which is "released" by the second action at the end. The third action "uses" the value and its result is the result of the bracket.

If an error is thrown during the use, the release still happens before the error is rethrown.

Note that this is essentially a type-specialized version of generalBracket. This function has a more common signature (matching the signature from Control.Exception), and is often more convenient to use. By contrast, generalBracket is more expressive, allowing us to implement other functions like bracketOnError.

bracket_ :: MonadMask m => m a -> m c -> m b -> m b Source #

Version of bracket without any value being passed to the second and third actions.

finally :: MonadMask m => m a -> m b -> m a Source #

Perform an action with a finalizer action that is run, even if an error occurs.

bracketOnError :: MonadMask m => m a -> (a -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> m b Source #

Like bracket, but only performs the final action if an error is thrown by the in-between computation.

Re-exports from Control.Exception

class (Typeable e, Show e) => Exception e where Source #

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
