Bug description
The idea is to support exception matching under lazy patterns, as Alain proposed in discussion under PR6318. For example, we might write:
match f e withlazyx, _ -> ...
|lazy (exception Not_found), Somex -> ...
| ...
Unlike top-level exception patterns which can only appear in 'match' and 'try', we can support exception pattern under lazy in any pattern context. For example,
let (lazy (exceptionE)) = raise Ein e
is equivalent to
e
Eventually lazy patterns could support or patterns for exception matching (cf. PR6422):
match f e with
lazy (None | exception Not_Found) -> ...
| ...
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
==============================================
let (lazy (exception E)) = raise E in e
is equivalent to
e
The way I see it, this should rather let the exception escape. We should stick to the current meaning of lazy patterns: they match only lazy values. The only change is that right under the "lazy", you can specify "exception" pattern to account for the case the lazy value raises an exception when being forced.
This issue has been open one year with no activity. Consequently, it is being marked with the "stale" label. What this means is that the issue will be automatically closed in 30 days unless more comments are added or the "stale" label is removed. Comments that provide new information on the issue are especially welcome: is it still reproducible? did it appear in other contexts? how critical is it? etc.
