(** {1 Exceptions and finalization} *)

val try_finally :
  ?always:(unit -> unit) ->
  ?exceptionally:(unit -> unit) ->
  (unit -> 'a) -> 'a
(** [try_finally work ~always ~exceptionally] is designed to run code
    in [work] that may fail with an exception, and has two kind of
    cleanup routines: [always], that must be run after any execution
    of the function (typically, freeing system resources), and
    [exceptionally], that should be run only if [work] or [always]
    failed with an exception (typically, undoing user-visible state
    changes that would only make sense if the function completes
    correctly). For example:

    {[
      let objfile = outputprefix ^ ".cmo" in
      let oc = open_out_bin objfile in
      Misc.try_finally
        (fun () ->

           ++ Timings.(accumulate_time (Generate sourcefile))

        ~always:(fun () -> close_out oc)
        ~exceptionally:(fun _exn -> remove_file objfile);
    ]}

    If [exceptionally] fail with an exception, it is propagated as
    usual.

    If [always] or [exceptionally] use exceptions internally for
    control-flow but do not raise, then [try_finally] is careful to
    preserve any exception backtrace coming from [work] or [always]
    for easier debugging.

      All magic numbers have the same byte length, [magic_length], and
      this is important for users as it gives them the number of bytes
      to read to obtain the byte sequence that should be a magic
      number. Typical user code will look like:
      {[
        let ic = open_in_bin path in
        let magic =
          try really_input_string ic Magic_number.magic_length
          with End_of_file -> ... in
        match Magic_number.parse magic with
        | Error parse_error -> ...
        | Ok info -> ...
      ]}

      A given compiler version expects one specific version for each
      kind of object file, and will fail if given an unsupported
      version. Because versions grow monotonically, you can compare
      the parsed version with the expected "current version" for
      a kind, to tell whether the wrong-magic object file comes from
      the past or from the future.

      An example of code block that expects the "currently supported version"
      of a given kind of magic numbers, here [Cmxa], is as follows:
      {[
        let ic = open_in_bin path in
        begin
          try Magic_number.(expect_current Cmxa (get_info ic)) with
          | Parse_error error -> ...
          | Unexpected error -> ...
        end;
        ...
      ]}

      Parse errors distinguish inputs that are [Not_a_magic_number str],
      which are likely to come from the file being completely
      different, and [Truncated str], raised by headers that are the
      (possibly empty) prefix of a valid magic number.

      Unexpected errors correspond to valid magic numbers that are not
      the one expected, either because it corresponds to a different
      kind, or to a newer or older version.

      The helper functions [explain_parse_error] and [explain_unexpected_error]
      will generate a textual explanation of each error,
      for use in error messages.
