@section Conditions
@subsection C Reference
@cppindex ECL_HANDLER_CASE
@cppindex ECL_RESTART_CASE
@deffn Macro ECL_HANDLER_CASE
C macro for @clhs{m_hand_1.htm,handler-case}
@subsubheading Synopsis
@example
@verbatim
ECL_HANDLER_CASE_BEGIN(env,names) {
} ECL_HANDLER_CASE(n,condition) { {
} ECL_HANDLER_CASE_END;
@end verbatim
@end example
@subsubheading Description
@code{ECL_HANDLER_CASE_BEGIN} runs a block of C code with a set of error handlers bound to the names given by the list @var{names}. The subsequent @code{ECL_HANDLER_CASE} statements specify what to do when the @var{n}-th type of conditions is found, where @var{n} is an integer denoting the position of the name in the list @var{names}.
When a condition is signaled, ECL scans the list of signal handlers, looking for matches based on @code{typep}. If the match with the highest precedence belongs to the list @var{names}, ECL will perform a non-local transfer of control to the appropriate @code{ECL_HANDLER_CASE}, passing it a @var{condition} object as unique argument.
The following example shows how to establish a handler for @code{ERROR} conditions. Note how the first value to @code{ECL_HANDLER_CASE} matches the position of the condition name in the list:
@example
@verbatim
cl_object error = ecl_make_symbol("ERROR","CL");
ECL_HANDLER_CASE_BEGIN(the_env, ecl_list1(error)) {
/* This form is evaluated with bound handlers */
output = cl_eval(1, form);
} ECL_HANDLER_CASE(1, condition) {
/* This code is executed when an error happens */
/* We just return the error that took place */
output = condition;
} ECL_HANDLER_CASE_END;
@end verbatim
@end example
@end deffn
@deffn Macro ECL_RESTART_CASE
C macro for @clhs{m_rst_ca.htm,restart-case}
@subsubheading Synopsis
@example
@verbatim
ECL_RESTART_CASE_BEGIN(env,names) {
} ECL_RESTART_CASE(n,args) { {
} ECL_RESTART_CASE_END;
@end verbatim
@end example
@subsubheading Description
@code{ECL_RESTART_CASE_BEGIN} runs a block of C code with a set of restarts bound to the names given by the list @var{names}. The subsequent @code{ECL_RESTART_CASE} statements specify what to do when the @var{n}-th restart is invoked, where @var{n} is an integer denoting the position of the name in the list @var{names}.
When the restart is invoked, it can receive any number of arguments, which are grouped in a list and stored in a new variable created with the name @var{args}.
The following example shows how to establish an @var{ABORT} and a @var{USE-VALUE} restart. Note how the first value to @var{ECL_RESTART_CASE} matches the position of the restart name in the list:
@example
@verbatim
cl_object abort = ecl_make_symbol("ABORT","CL");
cl_object use_value = ecl_make_symbol("USE-VALUE","CL");
ECL_RESTART_CASE_BEGIN(the_env, cl_list(2, abort, use_value)) {
/* This form is evaluated with bound restarts */
output = cl_eval(1, form);
} ECL_RESTART_CASE(1, args) {
/* This code is executed when the 1st restart (ABORT) is invoked */
output = ECL_NIL;
} ECL_RESTART_CASE(2, args) {
/* This code is executed when the 2nd restart (USE-VALUE) is invoked */
output = ECL_CAR(args);
} ECL_RESTART_CASE_END;
