   1 ;;;; the bare essentials of compiler error handling
   2 ;;;;
   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

  16 ;;;; files for more information.

  27 ;;; an application programmer's error caught by the compiler
  28 ;;;
  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
  34 ;;; the debugger.
  35 ;;;
  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.
  40 ;;;
  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.
  54 ;;;
  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. ]
  67 ;;;
  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.
