SYNOPSIS¶
mixed |
heart_beat_error | ( | object culprit, | string err, | string prg, | string curobj, | int line, | int caught | ) | ¶
DESCRIPTION¶
This function is called when a runtime error occurs while executing the heart_beat
(A) function of the object culprit
. prg
is program where the actual error happened, in object curobj
at the given line
.
At time of call, the heart_beat has been turned off. Return anything != 0 to restart the heart_beat in culprit
.
If culprit
is a user, it should at least get the message “You have no heartbeat”. A more advanced handling would destruct the offending object curobj
and and allow the heartbeat to restart.
If the error is caught on a higher level, caught
is non-zero; otherwise it is 0.
Note
prg
denotes the program actually executed (which might be an inherited one) whereas curobj
is just the offending object.
