try & error?

[Mark Scandariato]

Hello,

The manual says that erlang:error/1,2 produces exceptions of class 'error', but it doesn't 
seem to:


1>
1> Tst = fun(F) ->
1>     try F()
1>     catch
1>         throw:T -> {'THROW', T};
1>         error:R -> {'ERROR', R};
1>         exit:R  -> {'EXIT', R}
1>     end
1> end.
#Fun<erl_eval.6.72228031>
2> Tst(fun() -> throw(foo) end).
{'THROW',foo}
3> Tst(fun() -> exit(foo) end).
{'EXIT',foo}
4> Tst(fun() -> erlang:error(foo) end).
{'EXIT',{foo,[{erl_eval,do_apply,5},
               {erl_eval,try_fix,5},
               {erl_eval,expr,5},
               {shell,exprs,6},
               {shell,eval_loop,3}]}}
5> Tst(fun() -> 3 = a end).
{'ERROR',{{badmatch,a},[{erl_eval,expr,3}]}}
6> Tst(fun() -> 3+a end).
{'ERROR',{badarith,[{erl_eval,eval_op,3},
                     {erl_eval,try_fix,5},
                     {erl_eval,expr,5},
                     {shell,exprs,6},
                     {shell,eval_loop,3}]}}

Am I doing something wrong?

Mark.
