wrap_exn : string -> string -> exn -> exn
STRUCTURE
Feedback
SYNOPSIS
Adds supplementary information to an application of HOL_ERR.
DESCRIPTION
wrap_exn s1 s2 (HOL_ERR{origin_structure,origin_function,message}) where s1 typically denotes a structure and s2 typically denotes a function, returns

HOL_ERR{origin_structure=s1,origin_function=s2,message}

where origin_structure and origin_function have been added to the message field. This can be used to achieve a kind of backtrace when an error occurs.

In MoscowML, the interrupt signal in Unix is mapped into the Interrupt exception. If wrap_exn were to translate an interrupt into a HOL_ERR exception, crucial information might be lost. For this reason, wrap_exn s1 s2 Interrupt raises the Interrupt exception.

Every other exception is mapped into an application of HOL_ERR by wrap_exn.

FAILURE
Never fails.
EXAMPLE
In the following example, the original HOL_ERR is from Foo.bar. After wrap_exn is called, the HOL_ERR is from Fred.barney and its message field has been augmented to reflect the original source of the exception. 
    - val test_exn = mk_HOL_ERR "Foo" "bar" "incomprehensible input";
    > val test_exn = HOL_ERR : exn

    - wrap_exn "Fred" "barney" test_exn;
    > val it = HOL_ERR : exn

    - print(exn_to_string it);

    Exception raised at Fred.barney:
    Foo.bar - incomprehensible input

The following example shows how wrap_exn treats the Interrupt exception. 

    - wrap_exn "Fred" "barney" Interrupt;
    > Interrupted.

The following example shows how wrap_exn translates all exceptions that aren’t either HOL_ERR or Interrupt into applications of HOL_ERR. 

    - wrap_exn "Fred" "barney" Div;
    > val it = HOL_ERR : exn

    - print(exn_to_string it);

    Exception raised at Fred.barney:
    Div
