| |
| -- This package provides support for callbacks on exceptions. |
| |
| -- These callbacks are called immediately when either a specific exception, |
| -- or any exception, is raised, before any other actions taken by raise, in |
| -- particular before any unwinding of the stack occcurs. |
| |
| -- Callbacks for specific exceptions are registered through calls to |
| -- Register_Id_Action. Here is an example of code that uses this package to |
| -- automatically core dump when the exception Constraint_Error is raised. |
| |
| -- Register_Id_Action (Constraint_Error'Identity, Core_Dump'Access); |
| |
| -- Subprograms are also provided to list the currently registered exceptions, |
| -- or to convert from a string to an exception id. |
| |
| -- This package can easily be extended, for instance to provide a callback |
| -- whenever an exception matching a regular expression is raised. The idea |
| -- is to register a global action, called whenever any exception is raised. |
| -- Dispatching can then be done directly in this global action callback. |
| |
| with Ada.Exceptions; use Ada.Exceptions; |
| |
| package GNAT.Exception_Actions is |
| |
| type Exception_Action is access |
| procedure (Occurence : Exception_Occurrence); |
| -- General callback type whenever an exception is raised. The callback |
| -- procedure must not propagate an exception (execution of the program |
| -- is erroneous if such an exception is propagated). |
| |
| procedure Register_Global_Action (Action : Exception_Action); |
| -- Action will be called whenever an exception is raised. Only one such |
| -- action can be registered at any given time, and registering a new action |
| -- will override any previous action that might have been registered. |
| -- |
| -- Action is called before the exception is propagated to user's code. |
| -- If Action is null, this will in effect cancel all exception actions. |
| |
| procedure Register_Id_Action |
| (Id : Exception_Id; |
| Action : Exception_Action); |
| -- Action will be called whenever an exception of type Id is raised. Only |
| -- one such action can be registered for each exception id, and registering |
| -- a new action will override any previous action registered for this |
| -- Exception_Id. Program_Error is raised if Id is Null_Id. |
| |
| function Name_To_Id (Name : String) return Exception_Id; |
| -- Convert an exception name to an exception id. Null_Id is returned |
| -- if no such exception exists. Name must be an all upper-case string, |
| -- or the exception will not be found. The exception name must be fully |
| -- qualified (but not including Standard). It is not possible to convert |
| -- an exception that is declared within an unlabeled block. |
| -- |
| -- Note: All non-predefined exceptions will return Null_Id for programs |
| -- compiled with pragma Restriction (No_Exception_Registration) |
| |
| function Registered_Exceptions_Count return Natural; |
| -- Return the number of exceptions that have been registered so far. |
| -- Exceptions declared locally will not appear in this list until their |
| -- block has been executed at least once. |
| -- |
| -- Note: The count includes only predefined exceptions for programs |
| -- compiled with pragma Restrictions (No_Exception_Registration). |
| |
| type Exception_Id_Array is array (Natural range <>) of Exception_Id; |
| |
| procedure Get_Registered_Exceptions |
| (List : out Exception_Id_Array; |
| Last : out Integer); |
| -- Return the list of registered exceptions. |
| -- Last is the index in List of the last exception returned. |
| -- |
| -- An exception is registered the first time the block containing its |
| -- declaration is elaborated. Exceptions defined at library-level are |
| -- therefore immediately visible, whereas exceptions declared in local |
| -- blocks will not be visible until the block is executed at least once. |
| -- |
| -- Note: The list contains only the predefined exceptions if the program |
| -- is compiled with pragma Restrictions (No_Exception_Registration); |
| |
| procedure Core_Dump (Occurrence : Exception_Occurrence); |
| -- Dump memory (called a core dump in some systems), and abort execution |
| -- of the application. |
