;;;; the bare essentials of compiler error handling ;;;; ;;;; (Logically, this might belong in early-c.lisp, since it's stuff ;;;; which might as well be visible to all compiler code. However, ;;;; physically its DEFINE-CONDITION forms depend on the condition ;;;; system being set up before it can be cold loaded, so we keep it ;;;; in this separate, loaded-later file instead of in early-c.lisp.) ;;;; This software is part of the SBCL system. See the README file for ;;;; more information. ;;;; ;;;; This software is derived from the CMU CL system, which was ;;;; written at Carnegie Mellon University and released into the ;;;; public domain. The software is in the public domain and is ;;;; provided with absolutely no warranty. See the COPYING and CREDITS ;;;; files for more information. (in-package "SB!C") ;;;; error-handling definitions which are easy to define early and ;;;; which are nice to have visible everywhere ;;; a function that is called to unwind out of COMPILER-ERROR (declaim (type (function () nil) *compiler-error-bailout*)) (defvar *compiler-error-bailout*) ;;; an application programmer's error caught by the compiler ;;; ;;; We want a separate condition for application programmer errors so ;;; that we can distinguish them from system programming errors (bugs ;;; in SBCL itself). Application programmer errors should be caught ;;; and turned into diagnostic output and a FAILURE-P return value ;;; from COMPILE or COMPILE-FILE. Bugs in SBCL itself throw us into ;;; the debugger. ;;; ;;; A further word or two of explanation might be warranted here, ;;; since I (CSR) have spent the last day or so wandering in a ;;; confused daze trying to get this to behave nicely before finally ;;; hitting on the right solution. ;;; ;;; These objects obey a slightly involved protocol in order to ;;; achieve the right dynamic behaviour. If we signal a ;;; COMPILER-ERROR from within the compiler, we want that the ;;; outermost call to COMPILE/COMPILE-FILE cease attempting to compile ;;; the code in question and instead compile a call to signal a ;;; PROGRAM-ERROR. This is achieved by resignalling the condition ;;; from within the handler, so that the condition travels up the ;;; handler stack until it finds the outermost handler. Why the ;;; outermost? Well, COMPILE-FILE could call EVAL from an EVAL-WHEN, ;;; which could recursively call COMPILE, which could then signal an ;;; error; we want the inner EVAL not to fail so that we can go on ;;; compiling, so it's the outer COMPILE-FILE that needs to replace ;;; the erroneous call with a call to ERROR. ;;; ;;; This resignalling up the stack means that COMPILER-ERROR should ;;; not be a generalized instance of ERROR, as otherwise code such as ;;; (IGNORE-ERRORS (DEFGENERIC IF (X))) will catch and claim to handle ;;; the COMPILER-ERROR. So we make COMPILER-ERROR inherit from ;;; SIMPLE-CONDITION instead, as of sbcl-0.8alpha.0.2x, so that unless ;;; the user claims to be able to handle general CONDITIONs (and if he ;;; does, he deserves what's going to happen :-) [ Note: we don't make ;;; COMPILER-ERROR inherit from SERIOUS-CONDITION, because ;;; conventionally SERIOUS-CONDITIONs, if unhandled, end up in the ;;; debugger; although the COMPILER-ERROR might well trigger an entry ;;; into the debugger, it won't be the COMPILER-ERROR itself that is ;;; the direct cause. ] ;;; ;;; So, what if we're not inside the compiler, then? Well, in that ;;; case we're in the evaluator, so we want to convert the ;;; COMPILER-ERROR into a PROGRAM-ERROR and signal it immediately. We ;;; have to signal the PROGRAM-ERROR from the dynamic environment of ;;; attempting to evaluate the erroneous code, and not from any ;;; exterior handler, so that user handlers for PROGRAM-ERROR and ;;; ERROR stand a chance of running, in e.g. (IGNORE-ERRORS ;;; (DEFGENERIC IF (X))). So this is where the SIGNAL-PROGRAM-ERROR ;;; restart comes in; the handler in EVAL-IN-LEXENV chooses this ;;; restart if it believes that the compiler is not present (which it ;;; tests using the BOUNDPness of *COMPILER-ERROR-BAILOUT*). The ;;; restart executes in the dynamic environment of the original ;;; COMPILER-ERROR call, and all is well. ;;; ;;; CSR, 2003-05-13 (define-condition compiler-error (simple-condition) ()) ;;; Signal the appropriate condition. COMPILER-ERROR calls the bailout ;;; function so that it never returns (but compilation continues). ;;; COMPILER-ABORT falls through to the default error handling, so ;;; compilation terminates. ;;; ;;; FIXME: what is COMPILER-ABORT for? It isn't currently ;;; (2003-05-27) used in SBCL at all.
