The following problem exists (existed): methods of built-in modules are called with 'self' and 'args' arguments, but without a context argument, so they have no way to raise a specific exception. The same is true for the object implementations: no context argument. The old convention was to set 'errno' and to return NULL. The caller (usually call_function() in eval.c) detects the NULL return value and then calls puterrno(ctx) to turn the errno value into a true exception. Problems with this approach are: - it used standard errno values to indicate Python-specific errors, but this means that when such an error code is reported by a system call (e.g., in module posix), the user gets a confusing message - errno is a global variable, which makes extensions to a multi- threading environment difficult; e.g., in IRIX, multi-threaded programs must use the function oserror() instead of looking in errno - there is no portable way to add new error numbers for specic situations -- the value space for errno is reserved to the OS, yet the way to turn module-specific errors into a module-specific exception requires module-specific values for errno - there is no way to add a more situation-specific message to an error. The new interface solves all these problems. To return an error, a built-in function calls err_set(exception), err_setval(exception, value) or err_setstr(exception, string), and returns NULL. These functions save the value for later use by puterrno(). To adapt this scheme to a multi-threaded environment, only the implementation of err_setval() has to be changed. */ #include "allobjects.h" #include "traceback.h" #include #ifndef NT #ifdef macintosh /* ** For the mac, there's a function macstrerror in macosmodule.c.
