Function make-condition

Syntax:

Arguments and Values:

Barmar: a condition type or condition type name ? Barrett worried about the same thing. I think the intent was that it be a subtype of condition, so I've required that explicitly. -kmp 3-Sep-91type—a type specifier (for a subtype of condition).

slot-initializations—an initialization argument list.

condition—a condition.

Description:

Constructs and returns a condition of type type using slot-initializations for the initial values of the slots. The newly created condition is returned.

Examples:

 (defvar *oops-count* 0)

 (setq a (make-condition 'simple-error
                         :format-control "This is your ~:R error."
                         :format-arguments (list (incf *oops-count*))))
→ #<SIMPLE-ERROR 32245104>
 
 (format t "~&~A~%" a)
⊳ This is your first error.
→ NIL
 
 (error a)
⊳ Error: This is your first error.
⊳ To continue, type :CONTINUE followed by an option number:
⊳  1: Return to Lisp Toplevel.
⊳ Debug>
