1 Introduction

Portable Condition System

Description

This is an example implementation of the Common Lisp condition system, based on the original condition system implementation by Kent M. Pitman.

This code has been:

• forked from its original source location with the original file copied into this repository for posterity,
• cleaned to compile on contemporary Common Lisp implementations without warnings,
• downcased and adjusted to follow modern Lisp style standards,
• modernized to use ANSI CL functionalities, wherever applicable: for example, defclass, defmethod, print-object, print-unreadable-object, or destructuring-bind,
• updated to shadow the ANSI CL symbol list instead of the original CLtL1 symbol list and to follow the ANSI CL standard in functionality,
• documented via documentation strings for all suitable definition forms,
• made installable as a system-wide condition system that integrates with the host condition system,
• packaged as an ASDF system portable-condition-system,
• submitted to Quicklisp,
• tested via the ANSI-TEST test suites related to the condition system.

This system additionally defines a common-lisp+portable-condition-system package. It is equivalent to the common-lisp package, except all symbols related to the condition system are instead imported from the portable-condition-system, effectively overriding the condition system implementation from the host. This, along with running the portable-condition-system.integration:install function (see the integration system manual for details), ensures that the host's condition system is overridden by the custom one defined by portable-condition-system.

Background

The original comment from by Kent states:

This is a sample implementation. It is not in any way intended as the definition of any aspect of the condition system. It is simply an existence proof that the condition system can be implemented.

While this written to be "portable", this is not a portable condition system in that loading this file will not redefine your condition system. Loading this file will define a bunch of functions which work like a condition system. Redefining existing condition systems is beyond the goal of this implementation attempt.

This system has been created as a part of the efforts behind my upcoming book, The Common Lisp Condition System. It is meant to be educational material for people who want to see how to implement a condition system from scratch. Additionally, it may be used for Common Lisp implementations which do not have a condition system themselves and would nonetheless like to adopt.

Extending

The debugger itself is roughly extensible by means of defining new methods on the internal run-debugger-command generic function and pushing help-printing hooks onto *help-hooks*. See debugger.lisp for details.

Tests

The test suite has been adapted from ANSI-TEST at commit c4679fdd9966. To run it, evaluate (asdf:test-system :portable-condition-system) or manually load ASDF system portable-condition-system/test and run (portable-condition-system/test:run).

Example

Example debugger session:

PORTABLE-CONDITION-SYSTEM> (tagbody :go
                              (let ((condition (make-condition 'type-error
                                                               :datum 42
                                                               :expected-type 'string)))
                                (restart-case (invoke-debugger condition)
                                  (abort () :report "Abort.")
                                  (retry () :report "Retry." (go :go))
                                  (fail () :report "Fail."))))

;;  :EVAL <form>       Evaluate a form typed after the :EVAL command.
;;  :REPORT            Report the condition the debugger was invoked with.
;;  :CONDITION         Return the condition object the debugger was invoked with.
;;  :RESTARTS          Print available restarts.
;;  :RESTART <n>, <n>  Invoke a restart with the given number.
;;  :ABORT, :Q         Exit by calling #'ABORT.

5 Definitions

Definitions are sorted by export status, category, package, and then by lexicographic order.

5.1 Exported definitions

5.1.1 Special variables

Special Variable: *break-on-signals*

Declares a condition type for which all signaling functions will call BREAK before actually signaling the condition.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

signaling.lisp (file)

Special Variable: *debugger-hook*

If set, it is called as a function before entry into the debugger with two arguments: the condition object that the debugger is invoked with, and itself.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

debugger.lisp (file)

5.1.2 Macros

Macro: assert TEST-FORM &optional PLACES DATUM &rest ARGUMENTS

Evaluates TEST-FORM and checks if it is true; otherwise, signals a correctable error that allows the programmer to retry the assertion. If any places are supplied, the CONTINUE restart allows the programmer to set their values before retrying the assertion. The optional arguments DATUM and ARGUMENTS, if supplied, are used to report the assertion error.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: ccase KEYFORM &rest CASES

Evaluates the keyform (which must be a place) and checks if it matches any of the keys in the provided cases. Signals a correctable error otherwise, allowing the programmer to modify the value stored in the keyform.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: check-type PLACE TYPE &optional TYPE-STRING

Evaluates PLACE and checks if its value is of the provided type. Otherwise, signals a correctable error with an established STORE-VALUE restart that allows the programmer to provide a new value for the place before the typecheck is retried. The optional TYPE-STRING argument is used to construct the report for the signaled error.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: ctypecase KEYFORM &rest CASES

Evaluates the keyform (which must be a place) and checks if it is of any of the types in the provided cases. Signals a correctable error otherwise, allowing the programmer to modify the value stored in the keyform.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: define-condition NAME (&rest SUPERTYPES) DIRECT-SLOTS &rest OPTIONS

Defines or redefines a condition type.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

conditions.lisp (file)

Macro: ecase KEYFORM &rest CASES

Evaluates the keyform and checks if it matches any of the keys in the provided cases. Signals an error otherwise.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: etypecase KEYFORM &rest CASES

Evaluates the keyform and checks if it is of any of the types in the provided cases. Signals an error otherwise.

Package

Source

assertions.lisp (file)

Macro: handler-bind BINDINGS &body FORMS

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where the newly established handlers are available.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

handlers.lisp (file)

Macro: handler-case FORM &rest CASES

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where the newly established handlers are available. Each handler immediately transfers control to its handler case upon invocation, executing the body forms of the case and returning their value from HANDLER-CASE.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

handlers.lisp (file)

Macro: ignore-errors &rest FORMS

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where a newly established ERROR handler is available. This handler handler immediately transfers control outside the form upon invocation, returning NIL as its primary value and the signaled condition object as its secondary value.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

handlers.lisp (file)

Macro: restart-bind BINDINGS &body BODY

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where the newly established restarts are available.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

restarts.lisp (file)

Macro: restart-case EXPRESSION &body CASES

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where the newly established restarts are available. Each restart immediately transfers control to its restart case upon invocation, executing the body forms of the case and returning their value from RESTART-CASE.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

restarts.lisp (file)

Macro: with-condition-restarts CONDITION (&rest RESTARTS) &body BODY

Associates the provided condition object with multiple provided restart objects within the dynamic scope of the provided body forms.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

restarts.lisp (file)

Macro: with-simple-restart (NAME FORMAT-CONTROL &rest ARGS) &body FORMS

Executes the body forms in a dynamic context where the newly established restart is available. This restart restart immediately transfers control outside the form upon invocation, returning NIL as its primary value and T as its secondary value.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

restarts.lisp (file)

5.1.3 Functions

Function: abort &optional CONDITION

Invokes the most recent ABORT restart. If the optional condition argument is provided, instead the most recent ABORT restart that is not associated with any other condition. If no ABORT restart is available, or the restart fails to transfer control outside of this form, signals an error.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

restarts.lisp (file)

Function: break &optional FORMAT-CONTROL &rest FORMAT-ARGUMENTS

Binds *debugger-hook* to NIL, establishes a CONTINUE restart, and invokes the debugger with a condition object whose report is constructed from the optional format control and format arguments.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

Generic Function: coerce-to-condition DATUM ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Attempts to coerce the provided arguments into a condition
object. The DEFAULT-TYPE argument describes the default condition type that should be created if no condition type can be inferred from DATUM; the NAME argument is the name of the coercing operator and is used during invalid coercions to properly report the error.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

coerce-to-condition.lisp (file)

Methods

Method: coerce-to-condition DATUM ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Signals an error that the provided datum is not coercible to a condition object.

Method: coerce-to-condition (DATUM function) ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Makes a SIMPLE-CONDITION of the provided DEFAULT-TYPE, using the DATUM function as its format control and ARGUMENTS as format arguments.

Method: coerce-to-condition (DATUM string) ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Makes a SIMPLE-CONDITION of the provided DEFAULT-TYPE, using the DATUM string as its format control and ARGUMENTS as its format arguments.

Method: coerce-to-condition (DATUM symbol) ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Calls MAKE-CONDITION on the provided symbol and arguments.

Method: coerce-to-condition (DATUM condition) ARGUMENTS DEFAULT-TYPE NAME

Returns the condition object that was passed to the function. If arguments are non-NIL, signals a continuable error.

Generic Function: run-debugger-command COMMAND STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS

Executes the provided debugger command, reading input from
and printing output to the provided stream. The condition object the debugger was entered with and optional command arguments are available for use within the command itself.

Package

portable-condition-system

Source

debugger.lisp (file)

Methods

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql help)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Prints the debugger help.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql c)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Shorthand for :CONTINUE.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql continue)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Finds and invokes the CONTINUE restart; if no such restart is available, informs the user about that fact.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql q)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Shorthand for :ABORT.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql abort)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Finds and invokes the ABORT restart; if no such restart is available, informs the user about that fact.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql restart)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Invokes a particular restart.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql restarts)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Prints a list of available restarts.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql condition)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Returns the condition object that the debugger was entered with.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql report)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Informs the user that the debugger has been entered and reports the condition object the debugger was entered with.

Method: run-debugger-command (COMMAND0 (eql eval)) STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS1

Evaluates a form. The form may be provided as an optional argument; otherwise, it read from the provided stream.

Method: run-debugger-command COMMAND STREAM CONDITION &rest ARGUMENTS

Informs the user that the provided debugger command was not recognized.
