Protocol errors occur when +the X protocol is used incorrectly, such as attempting to map a window +that does not exist. See the Xlib documentation for \fBXSetErrorHandler\fR +for more information on the kinds of errors that can occur. +For \fIproc\fR to be invoked +to handle a particular error, five things must occur: +.IP [1] +The error must pertain to \fIdisplay\fR. +.IP [2] +Either the \fIerror\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR +must have been \-1, or the \fIerror\fR argument must match +the \fIerror_code\fR field from the error event. +.IP [3] +Either the \fIrequest\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR +must have been \-1, or the \fIrequest\fR argument must match +the \fIrequest_code\fR field from the error event. +.IP [4] +Either the \fIminor\fR argument to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR +must have been \-1, or the \fIminor\fR argument must match +the \fIminor_code\fR field from the error event. +.IP [5] +The protocol request to which the error pertains must have been +made when the handler was active (see below for more information). +.PP +\fIProc\fR should have arguments and result that match the +following type: +.CS +typedef int \fBTk_ErrorProc\fR( + ClientData \fIclientData\fR, + XErrorEvent *\fIerrEventPtr\fR); +.CE +The \fIclientData\fR parameter to \fIproc\fR is a copy of the \fIclientData\fR +argument given to \fBTcl_CreateErrorHandler\fR when the callback +was created. Typically, \fIclientData\fR points to a data +structure containing application-specific information that is +needed to deal with the error. \fIErrEventPtr\fR is +a pointer to the X error event. +The procedure \fIproc\fR should return an integer value. If it +returns 0 it means that \fIproc\fR handled the error completely and there +is no need to take any other action for the error. If it returns +non-zero it means \fIproc\fR was unable to handle the error. +.PP +If a value of NULL is specified for \fIproc\fR, all matching errors +will be ignored: this will produce the same result as if a procedure +had been specified that always returns 0. +.PP +If more than more than one handler matches a particular error, then +they are invoked in turn. The handlers will be invoked in reverse +order of creation: most recently declared handler first. +If any handler returns 0, then subsequent (older) handlers will +not be invoked. If no handler returns 0, then Tk invokes X's +default error handler, which prints an error message and aborts the +program. If you wish to have a default handler that deals with errors +that no other handler can deal with, then declare it first. +.PP +The X documentation states that +.QW "the error handler should not call any functions (directly or indirectly) on the display that will generate protocol requests or that will look for input events." +This restriction applies to handlers declared by \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR; +disobey it at your own risk. +.PP +\fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR may be called to delete a +previously-created error handler. The \fIhandler\fR argument +identifies the error handler, and should be a value returned by +a previous call to \fBTk_CreateEventHandler\fR. +.PP +A particular error handler applies to errors resulting +from protocol requests generated between +the call to \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR and the call to +\fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR. However, the actual callback +to \fIproc\fR may not occur until after the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR +call, due to buffering in the client and server. +If an error event pertains to +a protocol request made just before calling \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR, +then the error event may not have been processed +before the \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR +call. When this situation arises, Tk will save information about +the handler and +invoke the handler's \fIproc\fR later when the error event +finally arrives. +If an application wishes to delete an error handler and know +for certain that all relevant errors have been processed, +it should first call \fBTk_DeleteErrorHandler\fR and then +call \fBXSync\fR; this will flush out any buffered requests and errors, +but will result in a performance penalty because +it requires communication to and from the X server. After the +\fBXSync\fR call Tk is guaranteed not to call any error +handlers deleted before the \fBXSync\fR call. +.PP +For the Tk error handling mechanism to work properly, it is essential +that application code never calls \fBXSetErrorHandler\fR directly; +applications should use only \fBTk_CreateErrorHandler\fR. +.SH KEYWORDS +callback, error, event, handler |
