Abstract

This SRFI defines exception-handling and exception-raising constructs for Scheme, including

• a with-exception-handler procedure and a guard form for installing exception-handling procedures,
• a raise procedure for invoking the current exception handler.

This SRFI is based on (withdrawn) SRFI 12: Exception Handling by William Clinger, R. Kent Dybvig, Matthew Flatt, and Marc Feeley.
