16.3 Signalling Errors Inside accept Methods

Sometimes an accept method may wish to signal an error while it is parsing the user's input, or a nested call to accept may signal such an error itself. The following functions and conditions may be used:

parse-error

Summary: The error that is signaled by parse-error. This is a subclass of error.

parse-error[Function]	

Arguments: format-string &rest format-arguments

Summary: Reports an error while parsing an input token. Does not return. format-string and format-arguments are as for the Common Lisp function format .

simple-parse-error

Summary: The error that is signaled by simple-parse-error. This is a subclass of parse-error.

simple-parse-error [Function]	

Arguments: format-string &rest format-arguments

Summary: Signals a simple-parse-error when CLIM does not know how to parse some sort of user input while inside accept . Does not return. format-string and format-arguments are as for the Common Lisp function format .

input-not-of-required-type

Arguments: object type

Summary: This condition is signalled by input-not-of-required-type . This is a subclass of parse-error.

input-not-of-required-type [Function]	

Arguments: object type

Summary: Reports that input does not satisfy the specified type by signalling an input-not-of-required-type error. object is a parsed object or an unparsed token (a string). type is a presentation type specifier. Does not return.
