2.16.1 The class PlException (version 2)

This subclass of PlTerm is used to represent exceptions. Currently defined methods are:

PlException :: PlException(const PlTerm &)

Create an exception from a general Prolog term. This provides the interface for throwing any Prolog terms as an exception.

std::string as_string()

The exception is translated into a message as produced by print_message/2. The character data is stored in a ring. Example:

  ...;
  try
  { PlCall("consult(load)");
  } catch ( PlException& ex )
  { cerr << ex.as_string() << endl;
  }

int plThrow()

Used in the PREDICATE() wrapper to pass the exception to Prolog. See PL_raise_exeption().
