Have you tried simply wrapping the call to runCpphs in a "catch"? Something like

safeRunCpphs :: ... -> IO (Either String String) safeRunCpphs foo = fmap Right (runCpphs foo) `catch` (\(UserError s)-> Left s

Yes, that is what I'm doing at the moment. The problem with this is that it does not allow me to distinguish between a programmer error (error) on the caller or implementation side, and an #error in the input file.
