-- also be useful for mimicing implementation dependent capabilities in

package GNAT.Most_Recent_Exception is
-----------------
-- Subprograms --
-----------------
function Occurrence
return Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Occurrence;
-- Returns the Exception_Occurrence for the most recently raised
-- exception in the current task. If no exception has been raised
-- in the current task prior to the call, returns Null_Occurrence.
function Occurrence_Access
return Ada.Exceptions.Exception_Occurrence_Access;
-- Similar to the above, but returns an access to the occurrence value.
-- This value is in a task specific location, and may be validly accessed
-- as long as no further exception is raised in the calling task.
-- Note: unlike the routines in GNAT.Current_Exception, these functions
-- access the most recently raised exception, regardless of where they
-- are called. Consider the following example:
-- exception
-- when Constraint_Error =>
-- begin
-- ...
-- exception
-- when Tasking_Error => ...
-- end;
--
-- -- Assuming a Tasking_Error was raised in the inner block,
-- -- a call to GNAT.Most_Recent_Exception.Occurrence will
-- -- return information about this Tasking_Error exception,
-- -- not about the Constraint_Error exception being handled
-- -- by the current handler code.
