Exceptions

|
||||
Built-in exception translation
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
When C++ code invoked from Python throws an ``std::exception``, it is
|
||||
automatically converted into a Python ``Exception``. pybind11 defines multiple
|
||||
special exception classes that will map to different types of Python
|
||||
exceptions:

| :class:`pybind11::index_error` | ``IndexError`` (used to |

|
||||
| | ``__setitem__``, etc.) |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------+
|
||||
| :class:`pybind11::value_error` | ``ValueError`` (used to |
|
||||
| | indicate wrong value passed |
|
||||
| | in ``container.remove(...)`` |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------+
|
||||
| :class:`pybind11::key_error` | ``KeyError`` (used to |
|
||||
| | indicate out of bounds |
|
||||
| | accesses in ``__getitem__``, |
|
||||
| | ``__setitem__`` in dict-like |
|
||||
| | objects, etc.) |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------+
|
||||
| :class:`pybind11::error_already_set` | Indicates that the Python |
|
||||
| | exception flag has already |
|
||||
| | been initialized |
|
||||
+--------------------------------------+------------------------------+
|
||||
|
||||
When a Python function invoked from C++ throws an exception, it is converted
|
||||
into a C++ exception of type :class:`error_already_set` whose string payload
|
||||
contains a textual summary.
|
||||
|
||||
There is also a special exception :class:`cast_error` that is thrown by
|
||||
:func:`handle::call` when the input arguments cannot be converted to Python
|
||||
objects.
|
||||
|
||||
Registering custom translators
|
||||
==============================
|
||||
|
||||
If the default exception conversion policy described above is insufficient,
|
||||
pybind11 also provides support for registering custom exception translators.
|
||||
To register a simple exception conversion that translates a C++ exception into
|
||||
a new Python exception using the C++ exception's ``what()`` method, a helper
|
||||
function is available:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||||
|
||||
py::register_exception<CppExp>(module, "PyExp");
|
||||
|
||||
This call creates a Python exception class with the name ``PyExp`` in the given
|
||||
module and automatically converts any encountered exceptions of type ``CppExp``
|
||||
into Python exceptions of type ``PyExp``.
|
||||
|
||||
When more advanced exception translation is needed, the function
|
||||
``py::register_exception_translator(translator)`` can be used to register
|
||||
functions that can translate arbitrary exception types (and which may include
|
||||
additional logic to do so). The function takes a stateless callable (e.g. a
|
||||
function pointer or a lambda function without captured variables) with the call
|
||||
signature ``void(std::exception_ptr)``.
|
||||
|
||||
When a C++ exception is thrown, the registered exception translators are tried
|
||||
in reverse order of registration (i.e. the last registered translator gets the
|
||||
first shot at handling the exception).
|
||||
|
||||
Inside the translator, ``std::rethrow_exception`` should be used within
|
||||
a try block to re-throw the exception. One or more catch clauses to catch
|
||||
the appropriate exceptions should then be used with each clause using
|
||||
``PyErr_SetString`` to set a Python exception or ``ex(string)`` to set
|
||||
the python exception to a custom exception type (see below).
|
||||
|
||||
To declare a custom Python exception type, declare a ``py::exception`` variable
|
||||
and use this in the associated exception translator (note: it is often useful
|
||||
to make this a static declaration when using it inside a lambda expression
|
||||
without requiring capturing).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
The following example demonstrates this for a hypothetical exception classes
|
||||
``MyCustomException`` and ``OtherException``: the first is translated to a
|
||||
custom python exception ``MyCustomError``, while the second is translated to a
|
||||
standard python RuntimeError:
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: cpp
|
||||
|
||||
static py::exception<MyCustomException> exc(m, "MyCustomError");
|
||||
py::register_exception_translator([](std::exception_ptr p) {
|
||||
try {
|
||||
if (p) std::rethrow_exception(p);
|
||||
} catch (const MyCustomException &e) {
|
||||
exc(e.what());
|
||||
} catch (const OtherException &e) {
|
||||
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_RuntimeError, e.what());
|
||||
}
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
Multiple exceptions can be handled by a single translator, as shown in the
|
||||
example above. If the exception is not caught by the current translator, the
|
||||
previously registered one gets a chance.
|
||||
|
||||
If none of the registered exception translators is able to handle the
|
||||
exception, it is handled by the default converter as described in the previous
|
||||
section.
|
||||
|
||||
.. seealso::
|
||||
|
||||
The file :file:`tests/test_exceptions.cpp` contains examples
|
||||
of various custom exception translators and custom exception types.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
|
||||
You must call either ``PyErr_SetString`` or a custom exception's call
|
||||
operator (``exc(string)``) for every exception caught in a custom exception
|
||||
translator. Failure to do so will cause Python to crash with ``SystemError:
|
||||
error return without exception set``.
|
||||
|
||||
Exceptions that you do not plan to handle should simply not be caught, or
|
||||
may be explicitly (re-)thrown to delegate it to the other,
|
||||
previously-declared existing exception translators.
