The PSBLAS library error handling policy has been completely rewritten
|
|
|
|
|
in version 2.0. The idea behind the design of this new error handling
|
|
|
|
|
strategy is to keep error messages on a stack allowing the user to
|
|
|
|
|
trace back up to the point where the first error message has been
|
|
|
|
|
generated. Every routine in the PSBLAS-2.0 library has, as last
|
|
|
|
|
non-optional argument, an integer <code>info</code> variable; whenever,
|
|
|
|
|
inside the routine, an error is detected, this variable is set to a
|
|
|
|
|
value corresponding to a specific error code. Then this error code is
|
|
|
|
|
also pushed on the error stack and then either control is returned to
|
|
|
|
|
the caller routine or the execution is aborted, depending on the users
|
|
|
|
|
choice. At the time when the execution is aborted, an error message is
|
|
|
|
|
printed on standard output with a level of verbosity than can be
|
|
|
|
|
chosen by the user. If the execution is not aborted, then, the caller
|
|
|
|
|
routine checks the value returned in the <code>info</code> variable and, if
|
|
|
|
|
not zero, an error condition is raised. This process continues on all the
|
|
|
|
|
levels of nested calls until the level where the user decides to abort
|
|
|
|
|
the program execution.

Figure <A HREF="#fig:routerr">9</A> shows the layout of a generic <code>psb_foo</code>
|
|
|
|
|
routine with respect to the PSBLAS-2.0 error handling policy. It is
|
|
|
|
|
possible to see how, whenever an error condition is detected, the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>info</code> variable is set to the corresponding error code which is,
|
|
|
|
|
then, pushed on top of the stack by means of the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>psb_errpush</code>. An error condition may be directly detected inside
|
|
|
|
|
a routine or indirectly checking the error code returned returned by a
|
|
|
|
|
called routine. Whenever an error is encountered, after it has been
|
|
|
|
|
pushed on stack, the program execution skips to a point where the
|
|
|
|
|
error condition is handled; the error condition is handled either by
|
|
|
|
|
returning control to the caller routine or by calling the
|
|
|
|
|
<code>psb\_error</code> routine which prints the content of the error stack
|
|
|
|
|
and aborts the program execution, according to the choice made by the
|
|
|
|
|
user with <code>psb_set_erraction</code>. The default is to print the error
|
|
|
|
|
and terminate the program, but the user may choose to handle the error
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly.

Figure <A HREF="#fig:errormsg">10</A> reports a sample error message generated by
|
|
|
|
|
the PSBLAS-2.0 library. This error has been generated by the fact that
|
|
|
|
|
the user has chosen the invalid ``FOO'' storage format to represent
|
|
|
|
|
the sparse matrix. From this error message it is possible to see that
|
|
|
|
|
the error has been detected inside the <code>psb_cest</code> subroutine
|
|
|
|
|
called by <code>psb_spasb</code> ... by process 0 (i.e. the root process).
