1 ;;;; the bare essentials of compiler error handling
3 ;;;; (Logically, this might belong in early-c.lisp, since it's stuff
4 ;;;; which might as well be visible to all compiler code. However,
5 ;;;; physically its DEFINE-CONDITION forms depend on the condition
6 ;;;; system being set up before it can be cold loaded, so we keep it
7 ;;;; in this separate, loaded-later file instead of in early-c.lisp.)
9 ;;;; This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for
10 ;;;; more information.
12 ;;;; This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was
13 ;;;; written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the
14 ;;;; public domain. The software is in the public domain and is
15 ;;;; provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS
16 ;;;; files for more information.

27 ;;; an application programmer's error caught by the compiler
29 ;;; We want a separate condition for application programmer errors so
30 ;;; that we can distinguish them from system programming errors (bugs
31 ;;; in SBCL itself). Application programmer errors should be caught
32 ;;; and turned into diagnostic output and a FAILURE-P return value
33 ;;; from COMPILE or COMPILE-FILE. Bugs in SBCL itself throw us into
36 ;;; A further word or two of explanation might be warranted here,
37 ;;; since I (CSR) have spent the last day or so wandering in a
38 ;;; confused daze trying to get this to behave nicely before finally
39 ;;; hitting on the right solution.
41 ;;; These objects obey a slightly involved protocol in order to
42 ;;; achieve the right dynamic behaviour. If we signal a
43 ;;; COMPILER-ERROR from within the compiler, we want that the
44 ;;; outermost call to COMPILE/COMPILE-FILE cease attempting to compile
45 ;;; the code in question and instead compile a call to signal a
46 ;;; PROGRAM-ERROR. This is achieved by resignalling the condition
47 ;;; from within the handler, so that the condition travels up the
48 ;;; handler stack until it finds the outermost handler. Why the
49 ;;; outermost? Well, COMPILE-FILE could call EVAL from an EVAL-WHEN,
50 ;;; which could recursively call COMPILE, which could then signal an
51 ;;; error; we want the inner EVAL not to fail so that we can go on
52 ;;; compiling, so it's the outer COMPILE-FILE that needs to replace
53 ;;; the erroneous call with a call to ERROR.
55 ;;; This resignalling up the stack means that COMPILER-ERROR should
56 ;;; not be a generalized instance of ERROR, as otherwise code such as
57 ;;; (IGNORE-ERRORS (DEFGENERIC IF (X))) will catch and claim to handle
58 ;;; the COMPILER-ERROR. So we make COMPILER-ERROR inherit from
59 ;;; CONDITION instead, as of sbcl-0.8alpha.0.2x, so that unless
60 ;;; the user claims to be able to handle general CONDITIONs (and if he
61 ;;; does, he deserves what's going to happen :-) [ Note: we don't make
62 ;;; COMPILER-ERROR inherit from SERIOUS-CONDITION, because
63 ;;; conventionally SERIOUS-CONDITIONs, if unhandled, end up in the
64 ;;; debugger; although the COMPILER-ERROR might well trigger an entry
65 ;;; into the debugger, it won't be the COMPILER-ERROR itself that is
66 ;;; the direct cause. ]
68 ;;; So, what if we're not inside the compiler, then? Well, in that
69 ;;; case we're in the evaluator, so we want to convert the
70 ;;; COMPILER-ERROR into a PROGRAM-ERROR and signal it immediately. We
71 ;;; have to signal the PROGRAM-ERROR from the dynamic environment of
72 ;;; attempting to evaluate the erroneous code, and not from any
73 ;;; exterior handler, so that user handlers for PROGRAM-ERROR and
74 ;;; ERROR stand a chance of running, in e.g. (IGNORE-ERRORS
75 ;;; (DEFGENERIC IF (X))). So this is where the SIGNAL-PROGRAM-ERROR
76 ;;; restart comes in; the handler in EVAL-IN-LEXENV chooses this
77 ;;; restart if it believes that the compiler is not present (which it
78 ;;; tests using the BOUNDPness of *COMPILER-ERROR-BAILOUT*). The
79 ;;; restart executes in the dynamic environment of the original
80 ;;; COMPILER-ERROR call, and all is well.
