</div>*DEBUGGER-HOOK* may contain a function for the user to intercept all<br>
calls to the debugger. Now if you set this to NIL you are telling the<br>
Common Lisp environment that you do not want to install any debugger<br>
hook, so the ordinary prompt is activated<br>
<br>
Look at the lisp definition fi si::safe-eval<br>
<br>
(defun safe-eval (form env err-value)<br>
(catch 'si::protect-tag<br>
(let* ((*debugger-hook*<br>
#'(lambda (condition old-hooks)<br>
(throw 'si::protect-tag condition))))<br>
(return-from safe-eval (eval-with-env form env))))<br>
err-value)<br>
<br>
You said that you want to capture the error and learn what happens.<br>
This can be coded in Common Lisp as follows<br>
<br>
(defun my-safe-eval (form env)<br>
(handler-case (values (eval-with-env form env) nil)<br>
(error (c) (return-from my-safe-eval (values nil c)))))<br>
<br>
This function returns two values: the output of your form and an<br>
optional second value with any error that might get signaled. The main<br>
value is directly output by the function, while the second value may<br>
be retrieved using VALUES(1). Beware that the code below was directly<br>
typed into this email and may have typos, errors, etc, but you<br>
probably get the general idea.<br>
<br>
cl_object aux = c_string_to_object( "(defun my-safe-eval (form env)<br>
(handler-case (values (eval-with-env form env) nil)<br>
(error (c) (return-from my-safe-eval (values nil c)))))");<br>
<br>
cl_object function_name = cl_eval(1, aux);<br>
cl_object form = c_string_to_object("(LOAD ... ");<br>
cl_object output = cl_funcall(3, function_name, form, Cnil);<br>
cl_object error = VALUES(1);<br>
if (error != Cnil) {<br>
...<br>
}<br>
<br>
Note also that condition objects may be printed with various degrees<br>
of precision: by default you only get a #<... >, but in pretty print<br>
form you wil get the full error message.<br>
