Re: [Haskell-cafe] Handling exceptions or gracefully releasing resources

Felipe, I'm trying to use your Hipmunk package. :) The resources I need to keep around are the objects used for the simulation. Do you recomend using "resourcet" to handle this or something else? Thanks. 2013/1/30 Felipe Almeida Lessa

Everything that Johan Tibell said + you may be interested in the resourcet package [1] (which is used by conduit to handle resources).

Cheers,

`Control.Exception.bracket` is a nice function to acquire and release a resource in a small context.

But, how should I handle resources that are hold for a long time?

Should I put `Control.Exception.finally` on every single line of my finalizers? What exceptions may occur on an IO operation? Every IO function has the risk of throwing an exception?

Thanks, Thiago.
