// Written in the D programming language.

/++
    This module defines functions related to exceptions and general error
    handling. It also defines functions intended to aid in unit testing.

    Synopsis of some of std.exception's functions:
--------------------
string synopsis()
{
   FILE* f = enforce(fopen("some/file"));
   // f is not null from here on
   FILE* g = enforceEx!WriteException(fopen("some/other/file", "w"));
   // g is not null from here on

   Exception e = collectException(write(g, readln(f)));
   if (e)
   {
       ... an exception occurred...
       ... We have the exception to play around with...
   }

   string msg = collectExceptionMsg(write(g, readln(f)));
   if (msg)
   {
       ... an exception occurred...
       ... We have the message from the exception but not the exception...
   }

   char[] line;
   enforce(readln(f, line));
   return assumeUnique(line);
}

/++
    Asserts that the given expression does $(I not) throw the given type
    of $(D Throwable). If a $(D Throwable) of the given type is thrown,
    it is caught and does not escape assertNotThrown. Rather, an
    $(D AssertError) is thrown. However, any other $(D Throwable)s will escape.

    Params:
        T          = The $(D Throwable) to test for.
        expression = The expression to test.
        msg        = Optional message to output on test failure.
                     If msg is empty, and the thrown exception has a
                     non-empty msg field, the exception's msg field
                     will be output on test failure.

    Throws:
        $(D AssertError) if the given $(D Throwable) is thrown.

    Examples:
--------------------
assertNotThrown!StringException(enforceEx!StringException(true, "Error!"));

//Exception is the default.
assertNotThrown(enforceEx!StringException(true, "Error!"));

assert(collectExceptionMsg!AssertError(assertNotThrown!StringException(

    If $(D !!value) is true, $(D value) is returned. Otherwise,
    $(D new Exception(msg)) is thrown.

    Note:
        $(D enforce) is used to throw exceptions and is therefore intended to
        aid in error handling. It is $(I not) intended for verifying the logic
        of your program. That is what $(D assert) is for. Also, do not use
        $(D enforce) inside of contracts (i.e. inside of $(D in) and $(D out)
        blocks and $(D invariant)s), because they will be compiled out when
        compiling with $(I -release). Use $(D assert) in contracts.

   Example:
--------------------
auto f = enforce(fopen("data.txt"));
auto line = readln(f);
enforce(line.length, "Expected a non-empty line.");

    Catches and returns the exception thrown from the given expression.
    If no exception is thrown, then null is returned and $(D result) is
    set to the result of the expression.

    Note that while $(D collectException) $(I can) be used to collect any
    $(D Throwable) and not just $(D Exception)s, it is generally ill-advised to
    catch anything that is neither an $(D Exception) nor a type derived from
    $(D Exception). So, do not use $(D collectException) to collect
    non-$(D Exception)s unless you're sure that that's what you really want to
    do.

    Params:
        T          = The type of exception to catch.
        expression = The expression which may throw an exception.
        result     = The result of the expression if no exception is thrown.

    Example:
--------------------
int[] a = new int[3];

/**
 * Casts a mutable array to an immutable array in an idiomatic
 * manner. Technically, $(D assumeUnique) just inserts a cast,
 * but its name documents assumptions on the part of the
 * caller. $(D assumeUnique(arr)) should only be called when
 * there are no more active mutable aliases to elements of $(D
 * arr). To strenghten this assumption, $(D assumeUnique(arr))
 * also clears $(D arr) before returning. Essentially $(D
 * assumeUnique(arr)) indicates commitment from the caller that there
 * is no more mutable access to any of $(D arr)'s elements
 * (transitively), and that all future accesses will be done through
 * the immutable array returned by $(D assumeUnique).
 *
 * Typically, $(D assumeUnique) is used to return arrays from
 * functions that have allocated and built them.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ----
 * string letters()
 * {
 *   char[] result = new char['z' - 'a' + 1];
 *   foreach (i, ref e; result)
 *   {
 *     e = 'a' + i;
 *   }
 *   return assumeUnique(result);
 * }
 * ----
 *
 * The use in the example above is correct because $(D result)
 * was private to $(D letters) and is unaccessible in writing
 * after the function returns. The following example shows an
 * incorrect use of $(D assumeUnique).
 *
 * Bad:
 *
 * ----
 * private char[] buffer;
 * string letters(char first, char last)
 * {
 *   if (first >= last) return null; // fine
 *   auto sneaky = buffer;
 *   sneaky.length = last - first + 1;
 *   foreach (i, ref e; sneaky)
 *   {
 *     e = 'a' + i;
 *   }
 *   return assumeUnique(sneaky); // BAD
 * }
 * ----
 *
 * The example above wreaks havoc on client code because it is
 * modifying arrays that callers considered immutable. To obtain an
 * immutable array from the writable array $(D buffer), replace
 * the last line with:
 * ----
 * return to!(string)(sneaky); // not that sneaky anymore
 * ----
 *
 * The call will duplicate the array appropriately.
 *
 * Checking for uniqueness during compilation is possible in certain
 * cases (see the $(D unique) and $(D lent) keywords in
 * the $(WEB archjava.fluid.cs.cmu.edu/papers/oopsla02.pdf, ArchJava)
 * language), but complicates the language considerably. The downside
 * of $(D assumeUnique)'s convention-based usage is that at this
 * time there is no formal checking of the correctness of the
 * assumption; on the upside, the idiomatic use of $(D
 * assumeUnique) is simple and rare enough to be tolerable.

    ML-style functional exception handling. Runs the supplied expression and
    returns its result. If the expression throws a $(D Throwable), runs the
    supplied error handler instead and return its result. The error handler's
    type must be the same as the expression's type.

    Params:
        E            = The type of $(D Throwable)s to catch. Defaults to ${D Exception}
        T            = The return type of the expression and the error handler.
        expression   = The expression to run and return its result.
        errorHandler = The handler to run if the expression throwed.

    Examples:
--------------------
    //Revert to a default value upon an error:
    assert("x".to!int().ifThrown(0) == 0);
--------------------

    You can also chain multiple calls to ifThrown, each capturing errors from the
    entire preceding expression.

    Example:
--------------------
    //Chaining multiple calls to ifThrown to attempt multiple things in a row:
    string s="true";
    assert(s.to!int().
            ifThrown(cast(int)s.to!double()).
            ifThrown(cast(int)s.to!bool())
            == 1);

    //Respond differently to different types of errors
    assert(enforce("x".to!int() < 1).to!string()
            .ifThrown!ConvException("not a number")
            .ifThrown!Exception("number too small")
            == "not a number");
--------------------

    The expression and the errorHandler must have a common type they can both
    be implicitly casted to, and that type will be the type of the compound
    expression.

    Examples:
--------------------
    //null and new Object have a common type(Object).
    static assert(is(typeof(null.ifThrown(new Object())) == Object));
    static assert(is(typeof((new Object()).ifThrown(null)) == Object));

    //1 and new Object do not have a common type.
    static assert(!__traits(compiles, 1.ifThrown(new Object())));
    static assert(!__traits(compiles, (new Object()).ifThrown(1)));
--------------------

    If you need to use the actual thrown expection, you can use a delegate.
    Example:
--------------------
    //Use a lambda to get the thrown object.
    assert("%s".format().ifThrown!Exception(e => e.classinfo.name) == "std.format.FormatException");
