    33This chapter covers the design and user interface of the \CFA
    4 exception-handling mechanism.
    5 
    6 \section{Virtuals}
    7 Virtual types and casts are not part of the exception system nor are they
    8 required for an exception system. But an object-oriented style hierarchy is a
    9 great way of organizing exceptions so a minimal virtual system has been added
    10 to \CFA.
    11 
    12 The pattern of a simple hierarchy was borrowed from object-oriented
    13 programming was chosen for several reasons.
    14 The first is that it allows new exceptions to be added in user code
    15 and in libraries independently of each other. Another is it allows for
    16 different levels of exception grouping (all exceptions, all IO exceptions or
    17 a particular IO exception). Also it also provides a simple way of passing
    18 data back and forth across the throw.
    19 
    20 Virtual types and casts are not required for a basic exception-system but are
    21 useful for advanced exception features. However, \CFA is not object-oriented so
    22 there is no obvious concept of virtuals. Hence, to create advanced exception
    23 features for this work, I needed to design and implement a virtual-like
    24 system for \CFA.

     5
     6% We should cover what is an exception handling mechanism and what is an
     7% exception before this. Probably in the introduction. Some of this could
     8% move there.
     9\paragraph{Raise / Handle}
     10An exception operation has two main parts: raise and handle.
     11These are the two parts that the user will write themselves and so
     12might be the only two pieces of the EHM that have any syntax.
     13These terms are sometimes also known as throw and catch but this work uses
     14throw/catch as a particular kind of raise/handle.
     15
     16\subparagraph{Raise}
     17The raise is the starting point for exception handling and usually how
     18Some well known examples include the throw statements of \Cpp and Java and
     19the raise statement from Python.
     20
     21For this overview a raise does nothing more kick off the handling of an
     22exception, which is called raising the exception. This is inexact but close
     23enough for the broad strokes of the overview.
     24
     25\subparagraph{Handle}
     26The purpose of most exception operations is to run some sort of handler that
     27contains user code.
     28The try statement of \Cpp illistrates the common features
     29Handlers have three common features: a region of code they apply to, an
     30exception label that describes what exceptions they handle and code to run
     31when they handle an exception.
     32Each handler can handle exceptions raised in that region that match their
     33exception label. Different EHMs will have different rules to pick a handler
     34if multipe handlers could be used such as ``best match" or ``first found".
     35
     36\paragraph{Propagation}
     37After an exception is raised comes what is usually the biggest step for the
     38EHM, finding and setting up the handler. This can be broken up into three
     39different tasks: searching for a handler, matching against the handler and
     40installing the handler.
     41
     42First the EHM must search for possible handlers that could be used to handle
     43the exception. Searching is usually independent of the exception that was
     44thrown and instead depends on the call stack, the current function, its caller
     45and repeating down the stack.
     46
     47Second it much match the exception with each handler to see which one is the
     48best match and hence which one should be used to handle the exception.
     49In languages where the best match is the first match these two are often
     50intertwined, a match check is preformed immediately after the search finds
     51a possible handler.
     52
     53Third, after a handler is chosen it must be made ready to run.
     54What this actually involves can vary widely to fit with the rest of the
     55design of the EHM. The installation step might be trivial or it could be
     56the most expensive step in handling an exception. The latter tends to be the
     57case when stack unwinding is involved.
     58
     59As an alternate third step if no appropriate handler is found then some sort
     60of recovery has to be preformed. This is only required with unchecked
     61exceptions as checked exceptions can promise that a handler is found. It also
     62is also installing a handler but it is a special default that may be
     63installed differently.
     64
     65\subparagraph{Hierarchy}
     66In \CFA the EHM uses a hierarchial system to organise its exceptions.
     67This stratagy is borrowed from object-orientated languages where the
     68exception hierarchy is a natural extension of the object hierarchy.
     69
     70Consider the following hierarchy of exceptions:
    2971\begin{center}
    3072\setlength{\unitlength}{4000sp}%
     
    4385\end{picture}%
    4486\end{center}
    45 The hierarchy provides the ability to handle an exception at different degrees
    46 of specificity (left to right). Hence, it is possible to catch a more general
    47 exception-type in higher-level code where the implementation details are
    48 unknown, which reduces tight coupling to the lower-level implementation.
    49 Otherwise, low-level code changes require higher-level code changes, \eg,
    50 changing from raising @underflow@ to @overflow@ at the low level means changing
    51 the matching catch at the high level versus catching the general @arithmetic@
    52 exception. In detail, each virtual type may have a parent and can have any
    53 number of children. A type's descendants are its children and its children's
    54 descendants. A type may not be its own descendant.
    55 
    56 The exception hierarchy allows a handler (@catch@ clause) to match multiple
    57 exceptions, \eg a base-type handler catches both base and derived
    58 exception-types.
    59 \begin{cfa}
    60 try {
    61         ...
    62 } catch(arithmetic &) {
    63         ... // handle arithmetic, underflow, overflow, zerodivide
    64 }
    65 \end{cfa}
    66 Most exception mechanisms perform a linear search of the handlers and select
    67 the first matching handler, so the order of handers is now important because
    68 matching is many to one.
    69 
    70 Each virtual type needs an associated virtual table. A virtual table is a
    71 structure with fields for all the virtual members of a type. A virtual type has
    72 all the virtual members of its parent and can add more. It may also update the
    73 values of the virtual members and often does.
     87
     88A handler labelled with any given exception can handle exceptions of that
     89type or any child type of that exception. The root of the exception hierarchy
     90(here \texttt{exception}) acts as a catch-all, leaf types catch single types
     91and the exceptions in the middle can be used to catch different groups of
     92related exceptions.
     93
     94This system has some notable advantages, such as multiple levels of grouping,
     95the ability for libraries to add new exception types and the isolation
     96between different sub-hierarchies. So the design was adapted for a
     97non-object-orientated language.
     98
     99% Could I cite the rational for the Python IO exception rework?
     100
     101\paragraph{Completion}
     102After the handler has finished the entire exception operation has to complete
     103and continue executing somewhere else. This step is usually very simple
     104both logically and in its implementation as the installation of the handler
     105usually does the heavy lifting.
     106
     107The EHM can return control to many different places.
     108However, the most common is after the handler definition and the next most
     109common is after the raise.
     110
     111\paragraph{Communication}
     112For effective exception handling, additional information is usually required
     113as this base model only communicates the exception's identity. Common
     114additional methods of communication are putting fields on an exception and
     115allowing a handler to access the lexical scope it is defined in (usually
     116a function's local variables).
     117
     118\paragraph{Other Features}
     119Any given exception handling mechanism is free at add other features on top
     120of this. This is an overview of the base that all EHMs use but it is not an
     121exaustive list of everything an EHM can do.
     122
     123\section{Virtuals}
     124Virtual types and casts are not part of the exception system nor are they
     125required for an exception system. But an object-oriented style hierarchy is a
     126great way of organizing exceptions so a minimal virtual system has been added
     127to \CFA.
     128
     129The virtual system supports multiple ``trees" of types. Each tree is
     130a simple hierarchy with a single root type. Each type in a tree has exactly
     131one parent - except for the root type which has zero parents - and any
     132number of children.
     133Any type that belongs to any of these trees is called a virtual type.
     134
     135% A type's ancestors are its parent and its parent's ancestors.
     136% The root type has no ancestors.
     137% A type's decendents are its children and its children's decendents.
     138
     139Every virtual type also has a list of virtual members. Children inherit
     140their parent's list of virtual members but may add new members to it.
     141It is important to note that these are virtual members, not virtual methods.
     142However as function pointers are allowed they can be used to mimic virtual
     143methods as well.
     144
     145The unique id for the virtual type and all the virtual members are combined
     146into a virtual table type. Each virtual type has a pointer to a virtual table
     147as a hidden field.
     148
     149Up until this point the virtual system is a lot like ones found in object-
     150orientated languages but this where they diverge. Objects encapsulate a
     151single set of behaviours in each type, universally across the entire program,
     152and indeed all programs that use that type definition. In this sense the
     153types are ``closed" and cannot be altered.
     154
     155However in \CFA types do not encapsulate any behaviour. Traits are local and
     156types can begin to statify a trait, stop satifying a trait or satify the same
     157trait in a different way with each new definition. In this sense they are
     158``open" as they can change at any time. This means it is implossible to pick
     159a single set of functions that repersent the type.
     160
     161So we don't try to have a single value. The user can define virtual tables
     162which are filled in at their declaration and given a name. Anywhere you can
     163see that name you can use that virtual table; even if it is defined locally
     164inside a function, although in that case you must respect its lifetime.
     165
     166An object of a virtual type is ``bound" to a virtual table instance which
     167sets the virtual members for that object. The virtual members can be accessed
     168through the object.
    74169
    75170While much of the virtual infrastructure is created, it is currently only used
     
    83178\Cpp syntax for special casts. Both the type of @EXPRESSION@ and @TYPE@ must be
    84179a pointer to a virtual type.
    85 The cast dynamically checks if the @EXPRESSION@ type is the same or a subtype
     180The cast dynamically checks if the @EXPRESSION@ type is the same or a sub-type
    86181of @TYPE@, and if true, returns a pointer to the
    87182@EXPRESSION@ object, otherwise it returns @0p@ (null pointer).
     
    107202
    108203The function @get_exception_vtable@ is actually a constant function.
    109 Recardless of the value passed in (including the null pointer) it should
     204Regardless of the value passed in (including the null pointer) it should
    110205return a reference to the virtual table instance for that type.
    111206The reason it is a function instead of a constant is that it make type
     
    139234and their use will be detailed there.
    140235
    141 However all three of these traits can be trickly to use directly.
     236However all three of these traits can be tricky to use directly.
    142237There is a bit of repetition required but
    143238the largest issue is that the virtual table type is mangled and not in a user
     
    152247list will be passed to both types.

    186281be unwound and control will (usually) continue in a different function on

    188283is impossible in the current function.

    232327Exception matching checks the representation of the thrown exception-type is

    234 it is the same of a descendent of @EXCEPTION_TYPE@$_i$ then @NAME@$_i$ is

    236331are executed. If control reaches the end of the handler, the exception is
     
    255350closure will be taken from up the stack and executed, after which the throwing
