Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to catch exception within the Get monad (the Binary package)

If however something goes wrong, and prs fails, the whole function fails (error is thrown). Since [a] (result of decoding) is a lazy list, actual exception may be thrown at any moment the list is being processed, and exception handler may not be properly set.

True -> return (reverse a) False -> many' (s:a)

Lazy lists are built in left to right order, but Yours is right to left.

Is there any way to catch/detect failures inside the Get monad? lookAhead, lookAheadM, etc
