99 * @brief A set of macros providing exception a la C++ in ANSI C (grounding feature)
101 * This module is a small ISO-C++ style exception handling library
102 * for use in the ISO-C language. It allows you to use the paradigm
103 * of throwing and catching exceptions in order to reduce the amount
104 * of error handling code without hindering program robustness.
106 * This is achieved by directly transferring exceptional return codes
107 * (and the program control flow) from the location where the exception
108 * is raised (throw point) to the location where it is handled (catch
109 * point) -- usually from a deeply nested sub-routine to a parent
110 * routine. All intermediate routines no longer have to make sure that
111 * the exceptional return codes from sub-routines are correctly passed
112 * back to the parent.
114 * These features are brought to you by a modified version of the libex
115 * library, one of the numerous masterpiece of Ralf S. Engelschall.

127 * @section XBT_ex_intro DESCRIPTION
129 * In SimGrid, an exception is a triple <\a msg , \a category , \a value>
130 * where \a msg is a human-readable text describing the exceptional
131 * condition, \a code an integer describing what went wrong and \a value
132 * providing a sort of sub-category. (this is different in the original libex).
134 * @section XBT_ex_base BASIC USAGE
136 * \em TRY \b TRIED_BLOCK [\em TRY_CLEANUP \b CLEANUP_BLOCK] \em CATCH (variable) \b CATCH_BLOCK
138 * This is the primary syntactical construct provided. It is modeled after the
139 * ISO-C++ try-catch clause and should sound familiar to most of you.
141 * Any exception thrown directly from the TRIED_BLOCK block or from called
142 * subroutines is caught. Cleanups which must be done after this block
143 * (whenever an exception arised or not) should be placed into the optionnal
144 * CLEANUP_BLOCK. The code dealing with the exceptions when they arise should
145 * be placed into the (mandatory) CATCH_BLOCK.
148 * In absence of exception, the control flow goes into the blocks TRIED_BLOCK
149 * and CLEANUP_BLOCK (if present); The CATCH_BLOCK block is then ignored.
151 * When an exception is thrown, the control flow goes through the following
152 * blocks: TRIED_BLOCK (up to the statement throwing the exception),
153 * CLEANUP_BLOCK (if any) and CATCH_BLOCK. The exception is stored in a
154 * variable for inspection inside the CATCH_BLOCK. This variable must be
155 * declared in the outter scope, but its value is only valid within the
159 * - TRY, CLEANUP and CATCH cannot be used separately, they work
160 * only in combination and form a language clause as a whole.
161 * - In contrast to the syntax of other languages (such as C++ or Jave) there
162 * is only one CATCH block and not multiple ones (all exceptions are
163 * of the same \em xbt_ex_t C type).
164 * - the variable of CATCH can naturally be reused in subsequent
166 * - it is possible to nest TRY clauses.
168 * The TRY block is a regular ISO-C language statement block, but
170 * <center><b>it is not
171 * allowed to jump into it via "goto" or longjmp(3) or out of it via "break",
172 * "return", "goto" or longjmp(3)</b>.</center>
174 * This is because there is some hidden setup and
175 * cleanup that needs to be done regardless of whether an exception is
176 * caught. Bypassing these steps will break the exception handling facility.
177 * The symptom are likely to be a segfault at the next exception raising point,
178 * ie far away from the point where you did the mistake. If you suspect
179 * that kind of error in your code, have a look at the little script
180 * <tt>tools/xbt_exception_checker</tt> in the CVS. It extracts all the TRY
181 * blocks from a set of C files you give it and display them (and only
182 * them) on the standard output. You can then grep for the forbidden
183 * keywords on that output.
185 * The CLEANUP and CATCH blocks are regular ISO-C language statement
186 * blocks without any restrictions. You are even allowed to throw (and, in the
187 * CATCH block, to re-throw) exceptions.
189 * There is one subtle detail you should remember about TRY blocks:
190 * Variables used in the CLEANUP or CATCH clauses must be declared with
191 * the storage class "volatile", otherwise they might contain outdated
192 * information if an exception is thrown.
195 * This is because you usually do not know which commands in the TRY
196 * were already successful before the exception was thrown (logically speaking)
197 * and because the underlying ISO-C setjmp(3) facility applies those
198 * restrictions (technically speaking). As a matter of fact, value changes
199 * between the TRY and the THROW may be discarded if you forget the
200 * "volatile" keyword.
202 * \section XBT_ex_pitfalls PROGRAMMING PITFALLS
204 * Exception handling is a very elegant and efficient way of dealing with
205 * exceptional situation. Nevertheless it requires additional discipline in
206 * programming and there are a few pitfalls one must be aware of. Look the
207 * following code which shows some pitfalls and contains many errors (assuming
208 * a mallocex() function which throws an exception if malloc(3) fails):
212 * \until end_of_bad_example
214 * This example raises a few issues:
215 * -# \b variable \b scope \n
216 * Variables which are used in the CLEANUP or CATCH clauses must be
217 * declared before the TRY clause, otherwise they only exist inside the
218 * TRY block. In the example above, cp1, cp2 and cp3 only exist in the
219 * TRY block and are invisible from the CLEANUP and CATCH
221 * -# \b variable \b initialization \n
222 * Variables which are used in the CLEANUP or CATCH clauses must
223 * be initialized before the point of the first possible THROW is
224 * reached. In the example above, CLEANUP would have trouble using cp3
225 * if mallocex() throws a exception when allocating a TOOBIG buffer.
226 * -# \b volatile \b variable \n
227 * Variables which are used in the CLEANUP or CATCH clauses MUST BE
228 * DECLARED AS "volatile", otherwise they might contain outdated
229 * information when an exception is thrown.
230 * -# \b clean \b before \b catch \n
231 * The CLEANUP clause is not only place before the CATCH clause in
232 * the source code, it also occures before in the control flow. So,
233 * resources being cleaned up cannot be used in the CATCH block. In the
234 * example, c3 gets freed before the printf placed in CATCH.
235 * -# \b variable \b uninitialization \n
236 * If resources are passed out of the scope of the
237 * TRY/CLEANUP/CATCH construct, they naturally shouldn't get
238 * cleaned up. The example above does free(3) cp1 in CLEANUP although
239 * its value was affected to globalcontext->first, invalidating this
242 * The following is fixed version of the code (annotated with the pitfall items
