Yes, that would be nice, but I'm trying to not ask for too much. :) As it is, I've got a function that can fail when processing large amounts of data and it's OK to lose one as long as I know why. Right now, the only way to know why is to rethrow: let should_process fn = try (ends_with fn ".") && (is_new_enough fn) && (not (is_gzip fn)) with x -> print_endline("Unknown error determining whether to process " ^ fn); raise x ;; Example output: Unknown error determining whether to process /tmp/x/passwd. Fatal error: exception Sys_error("/tmp/x/passwd.: Permission denied") I'd be plenty happy to print out that message and continue, but in the meantime, I've gotta have it abort. -- Dustin Sallings ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
