Adapted to use YAP built-ins. Its implementation is based on a discussion on the SWI-Prolog mailinglist on best practices in error handling. The utility predicate must_be/2 provides simple run-time type validation. The *_error predicates are simple wrappers around throw/1 to simplify throwing the most common ISO error terms. YAP reuses the code with some extensions, and supports interfacing to some C-builtins. */ :- multifile has_type/2. %% @pred type_error(+Type, +Term). %% @pred domain_error(+Type, +Value, +Term). %% @pred existence_error(+Type, +Term). %% @pred permission_error(+Action, +Type, +Term). %% @pred instantiation_error(+Term). %% @pred representation_error(+Reason). % % Throw ISO compliant error messages. type_error(Type, Term) :- throw(error(type_error(Type, Term), _)). domain_error(Type, Term) :- throw(error(domain_error(Type, Term), _)). existence_error(Type, Term) :- throw(error(existence_error(Type, Term), _)). permission_error(Action, Type, Term) :- throw(error(permission_error(Action, Type, Term), _)). instantiation_error(_Term) :- throw(error(instantiation_error, _)). representation_error(Reason) :- throw(error(representation_error(Reason), _)). %% must_be_of_type(+Type, @Term) is det. % % True if Term satisfies the type constraints for Type.
