-- Catching exceptions
-- |This is the simplest of the exception-catching functions. It
-- takes a single argument, runs it, and if an exception is raised
-- the \"handler\" is executed, with the value of the exception passed as an
-- argument. Otherwise, the result is returned as normal. For example:
--
-- > catch (openFile f ReadMode)
-- > (\e -> hPutStr stderr ("Couldn't open "++f++": " ++ show e))
--
-- For catching exceptions in pure (non-'IO') expressions, see the
-- function 'evaluate'.
--
-- Note that due to Haskell\'s unspecified evaluation order, an
-- expression may return one of several possible exceptions: consider
-- the expression @error \"urk\" + 1 \`div\` 0@. Does
-- 'catch' execute the handler passing
-- @ErrorCall \"urk\"@, or @ArithError DivideByZero@?
--
-- The answer is \"either\": 'catch' makes a
-- non-deterministic choice about which exception to catch. If you
-- call it again, you might get a different exception back. This is
-- ok, because 'catch' is an 'IO' computation.
--
-- Note that 'catch' catches all types of exceptions, and is generally
-- used for \"cleaning up\" before passing on the exception using
-- 'throwIO'. It is not good practice to discard the exception and
-- continue, without first checking the type of the exception (it
-- might be a 'ThreadKilled', for example). In this case it is usually better
-- to use 'catchJust' and select the kinds of exceptions to catch.
--
-- Also note that the "Prelude" also exports a function called
-- 'Prelude.catch' with a similar type to 'Control.Exception.catch',
-- except that the "Prelude" version only catches the IO and user
-- families of exceptions (as required by Haskell 98).
--
-- We recommend either hiding the "Prelude" version of 'Prelude.catch'
-- when importing "Control.Exception":
--
-- > import Prelude hiding (catch)
--
-- or importing "Control.Exception" qualified, to avoid name-clashes:
--
-- > import qualified Control.Exception as C
--
-- and then using @C.catch@

-- | When you want to acquire a resource, do some work with it, and
-- then release the resource, it is a good idea to use 'bracket',
-- because 'bracket' will install the necessary exception handler to

-- re-raise the exception (after performing the release).
--
-- A common example is opening a file:
--

-- > (openFile "filename" ReadMode)
-- > (hClose)
-- > (\handle -> do { ... })

-- Asynchronous exceptions
{- $async
#AsynchronousExceptions# Asynchronous exceptions are so-called because they arise due to
external influences, and can be raised at any point during execution.
'StackOverflow' and 'HeapOverflow' are two examples of
system-generated asynchronous exceptions.
The primary source of asynchronous exceptions, however, is
'throwTo':
> throwTo :: ThreadId -> Exception -> IO ()
'throwTo' (also 'throwDynTo' and 'Control.Concurrent.killThread') allows one
running thread to raise an arbitrary exception in another thread. The
exception is therefore asynchronous with respect to the target thread,
which could be doing anything at the time it receives the exception.
Great care should be taken with asynchronous exceptions; it is all too
easy to introduce race conditions by the over zealous use of
'throwTo'.
-}
{- $block_handler
There\'s an implied 'block' around every exception handler in a call
to one of the 'catch' family of functions. This is because that is
what you want most of the time - it eliminates a common race condition
in starting an exception handler, because there may be no exception
handler on the stack to handle another exception if one arrives
immediately. If asynchronous exceptions are blocked on entering the
handler, though, we have time to install a new exception handler
before being interrupted. If this weren\'t the default, one would have
to write something like
> block (
> catch (unblock (...))
> (\e -> handler)
> )
If you need to unblock asynchronous exceptions again in the exception
handler, just use 'unblock' as normal.
Note that 'try' and friends /do not/ have a similar default, because
there is no exception handler in this case. If you want to use 'try'
in an asynchronous-exception-safe way, you will need to use
'block'.
-}
{- $interruptible
Some operations are /interruptible/, which means that they can receive
asynchronous exceptions even in the scope of a 'block'. Any function
which may itself block is defined as interruptible; this includes
'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar'
(but not 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.tryTakeMVar'),
and most operations which perform
some I\/O with the outside world. The reason for having
interruptible operations is so that we can write things like
> block (
> a <- takeMVar m
> catch (unblock (...))
> (\e -> ...)
> )
if the 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' was not interruptible,
then this particular
combination could lead to deadlock, because the thread itself would be
blocked in a state where it can\'t receive any asynchronous exceptions.
With 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' interruptible, however, we can be
safe in the knowledge that the thread can receive exceptions right up
until the point when the 'Control.Concurrent.MVar.takeMVar' succeeds.
Similar arguments apply for other interruptible operations like
'System.IO.openFile'.
