/* Error handling -- see also run.c */
/* New error handling interface.
The following problem exists (existed): methods of built-in modules
are called with 'self' and 'args' arguments, but without a context
argument, so they have no way to raise a specific exception.
The same is true for the object implementations: no context argument.
The old convention was to set 'errno' and to return NULL.
The caller (usually call_function() in eval.c) detects the NULL
return value and then calls puterrno(ctx) to turn the errno value
into a true exception. Problems with this approach are:
- it used standard errno values to indicate Python-specific errors,
but this means that when such an error code is reported by a system
call (e.g., in module posix), the user gets a confusing message
- errno is a global variable, which makes extensions to a multi-
threading environment difficult; e.g., in IRIX, multi-threaded
programs must use the function oserror() instead of looking in errno
- there is no portable way to add new error numbers for specic
situations -- the value space for errno is reserved to the OS, yet
the way to turn module-specific errors into a module-specific
exception requires module-specific values for errno
- there is no way to add a more situation-specific message to an
error.
The new interface solves all these problems. To return an error, a
built-in function calls err_set(exception), err_setval(exception,
value) or err_setstr(exception, string), and returns NULL. These
functions save the value for later use by puterrno(). To adapt this
scheme to a multi-threaded environment, only the implementation of
err_setval() has to be changed.
