Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to catch all exceptions that could be caught?

Yes, that is a problem. But consider my PS in original mail, I have no idea what exception should I catch. Where could I get that information? On Thu, Jan 12, 2012 at 2:49 PM, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote:

Hi,   With Prelude.catch, I could write "catch () $ \_ -> return Nothing". But with Control.Exception.catch, I must specify a type for the "_". What should I do?

Use SomeException for the type, as it is the base of the exception hierarchy.

But it is usually recommended that you *don't* do this, as it even captures Ctrl-c invocations: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Control-Exception...
