Errors¶

Error is the parent type for errors in Chapel. TaskErrors is the type of errors thrown from parallel constructs where more than one error can be simultaneously encountered.

class Error¶

Error is the base class for errors

proc init()¶: Construct an Error

proc init(msg: string): Construct an Error with a message.

proc message()¶: Override this method to provide an error message in case the error is printed out or never caught.

class NilThrownError: Error¶: If a nil Error is thrown, NilThrownError will be thrown instead.

class NilClassError: Error¶

class ClassCastError: Error¶

class DecodeError: Error¶: A DecodeError is thrown if an attempt to create a string with non-UTF8 byte sequences are made at runtime. This includes calling the bytes.decode(decodePolicy.strict) method on a bytes with non-UTF8 byte sequences.

class IllegalArgumentError: Error¶

proc init()¶

proc init(info: string)

proc init(formal: string, info: string)

class TaskErrors: Error¶

TaskErrors stores multiple errors when they can come up. For example, a coforall loop might throw errors from multiple tasks at the same time. These errors will be reported to the parent task at the end of the coforall in the form of TaskErrors.

Note that errors thrown within a coforall, cobegin, or forall are represented as elements of TaskErrors. In the case of nesting, all errors will be stored in a single TaskErrors.

Errors thrown in begin tasks will be reported within a TaskErrors to the task that uses sync to wait for those begin tasks.

proc init(err: unmanaged Error)¶: Create a TaskErrors containing only the passed error

proc init(): Create a TaskErrors not containing any errors

proc deinit()¶

iter these() ref: owned nilable Error¶

Iterate over the errors contained in this TaskErrors. For example

var taskErrors:TaskErrors = ...;
for containedError in taskErrors {
  // Do something with the contained error
}

Yields references to owned Error? so that one of the yielded errors might be re-thrown. Only yields values that are not storing nil at the time of the call.

proc first() ref: owned nilable Error¶: Returns the first non-nil error contained in this TaskErrors group

override proc message(): string¶: Returns a string summarizing the errors contained in this TaskErrors. The summary is intended to be concise: it will not grow arbitrarily long if the TaskErrors contains many errors.

iter filter(type t) ref: owned nilable Error¶

Iterate over those errors contained that are the passed type or a subclass of that type.

Note that this iterator yields values of type owned Error? but only those that are non-nil and have dynamic type t.

proc contains(type t)¶: Returns true if this TaskErrors contains an error of the given type or a subclass of that type.
