2014-12-16Getting rid of Exninfo hacks.Pierre-Marie Pédrot
Instead of modifying exceptions to wear additional information, we instead use a dedicated type now. All exception-using functions were modified to support this new type, in particular Future's fix_exn-s and the tactic monad. To solve the problem of enriching exceptions at raise time and recover this data in the try-with handler, we use a global datastructure recording the given piece of data imperatively that we retrieve in the try-with handler. We ensure that such instrumented try-with destroy the data so that there may not be confusion with another exception. To further harden the correction of this structure, we also check for pointer equality with the last raised exception. The global data structure is not thread-safe for now, which is incorrect as the STM uses threads and enriched exceptions. Yet, we splitted the patch in two parts, so that we do not introduce dependencies to the Thread library immediatly. This will allow to revert only the second patch if ever we switch to OCaml-coded lightweight threads.

2013-01-28Added backtrace primitives.ppedrot
Using OCaml 3.11+ builtin facilities to record stack frames during exception raising, we can now recover at runtime the backtrace of an uncaught toplevel exception and display it to the user, without the infamous OCaml debugger. The backtrace is displayed when using the [-debug] flag. This requires a bit of discipline, as each time we reraise an exception we need to keep track of those frames we discarded between the previous raise and the current [try-with] branch. Currently, only [Anomaly] is handled, but this can be ported to any exception as long as we add the backtrace info into the exception, and we provide the corresponding handler to [Backtracke.register_backtrace_handler]. Hopefully this should not be to costly, as we only do little work when reraising, and only with the [-debug] flag set. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://scm.gforge.inria.fr/svn/coq/trunk@16166 85f007b7-540e-0410-9357-904b9bb8a0f7
