| |
| -- This package provides an interface allowing to control *automatic* output |
| -- to standard error upon exception occurrences (as opposed to explicit |
| -- generation of traceback information using GNAT.Traceback). |
| -- |
| -- This output includes the basic information associated with the exception |
| -- (name, message) as well as a backtrace of the call chain at the point |
| -- where the exception occurred. This backtrace is only output if the call |
| -- chain information is available, depending if the binder switch dedicated |
| -- to that purpose has been used or not. |
| -- |
| -- The default backtrace is in the form of absolute code locations which may |
| -- be converted to corresponding source locations using the addr2line utility |
| -- or from within GDB. Please refer to GNAT.Traceback for information about |
| -- what is necessary to be able to exploit thisg possibility. |
| -- |
| -- The backtrace output can also be customized by way of a "decorator" which |
| -- may return any string output in association with a provided call chain. |
| |
| with GNAT.Traceback; use GNAT.Traceback; |
| |
| package GNAT.Exception_Traces is |
| |
| -- The following defines the exact situations in which raises will |
| -- cause automatic output of trace information. |
| |
| type Trace_Kind is |
| (Every_Raise, |
| -- Denotes the initial raise event for any exception occurrence, either |
| -- explicit or due to a specific language rule, within the context of a |
| -- task or not. |
| |
| Unhandled_Raise |
| -- Denotes the raise events corresponding to exceptions for which there |
| -- is no user defined handler, in particular, when a task dies due to an |
| -- unhandled exception. |
| ); |
| |
| -- The following procedures can be used to activate and deactivate |
| -- traces identified by the above trace kind values. |
| |
| procedure Trace_On (Kind : Trace_Kind); |
| -- Activate the traces denoted by Kind. |
| |
| procedure Trace_Off; |
| -- Stop the tracing requested by the last call to Trace_On. |
| -- Has no effect if no such call has ever occurred. |
| |
| -- The following provide the backtrace decorating facilities |
| |
| type Traceback_Decorator is access |
| function (Traceback : Tracebacks_Array) return String; |
| -- A backtrace decorator is a function which returns the string to be |
| -- output for a call chain provided by way of a tracebacks array. |
| |
| procedure Set_Trace_Decorator (Decorator : Traceback_Decorator); |
| -- Set the decorator to be used for future automatic outputs. Restore |
| -- the default behavior (output of raw addresses) if the provided |
| -- access value is null. |
