Automatically reporting errors for raised exceptions

val register_error_of_exn : ( exn -> Error.t option ) -> unit

Each compiler module which defines a custom type of exception which can surface as a user-visible error should register a "printer" for this exception using register_error_of_exn. The result of the printer is an error value containing a location, a message, and optionally sub-messages (each of them being located as well).

exception Error of Error.t

Located exception.

val raise_errorf : 
  ?loc:t ->
  ( 'a, Stdlib.Format.formatter, unit, 'b ) Stdlib.format4 ->
  'a

Raise a located exception.

val report_exception : Stdlib.Format.formatter -> exn -> unit

Report an exception on the given formatter
