Condition handling
Conditions are a utility used to deal with handling error conditions. The syntax
of a condition handler strikes a resemblance to try/catch blocks in other
languages, but condition handlers are *not* a form of exception handling in the
same manner.
A condition is declared through the `condition!` macro provided by the compiler:
```rust
condition! {
pub my_error: int -> ~str;
}
# fn main() {}
```
This macro declares an inner module called `my_error` with one static variable,
`cond` that is a static `Condition` instance. To help understand what the other
parameters are used for, an example usage of this condition would be:
```rust
# condition! { pub my_error: int -> ~str; }
# fn main() {
my_error::cond.trap(|raised_int| {
// the condition `my_error` was raised on, and the value it raised is stored
// in `raised_int`. This closure must return a `~str` type (as specified in
// the declaration of the condition
if raised_int == 3 { ~"three" } else { ~"oh well" }
}).inside(|| {
// The condition handler above is installed for the duration of this block.
// That handler will override any previous handler, but the previous handler
// is restored when this block returns (handlers nest)
//
// If any code from this block (or code from another block) raises on the
// condition, then the above handler will be invoked (so long as there's no
// other nested handler).
println(my_error::cond.raise(3)); // prints "three"
println(my_error::cond.raise(4)); // prints "oh well"
})
# }
```
Condition handling is useful in cases where propagating errors is either to
cumbersome or just not necessary in the first place. It should also be noted,
though, that if there is not handler installed when a condition is raised, then
the task invokes `fail!()` and will terminate.
## More Info
Condition handlers as an error strategy is well explained in the [conditions
tutorial](http://static.rust-lang.org/doc/master/tutorial-conditions.html),
along with comparing and contrasting it with other error handling strategies.
