bptry: Try expression evaluation, recovering from bperror signals

In Bioconductor/BiocParallel: Bioconductor facilities for parallel evaluation

Try expression evaluation, recovering from bperror signals

Description

This function is meant to be used as a wrapper around bplapply() and friends, returning the evaluated expression rather than signalling an error.

Usage

bptry(expr, ..., bplist_error, bperror)

Arguments

expr	An R expression; see tryCatch.
bplist_error	A ‘handler’ function of a single argument, used to catch bplist_error conditions signalled by expr. A bplist_error condition is signalled when an element of bplapply and other iterations contain a evaluation that failed. When missing, the default retrieves the “result” attribute from the error, containing the partially evaluated results. Setting bplist_error=identity returns the evaluated condition. Setting bplist_error=stop passes the condition to other handlers, notably the handler provided by bperror.
bperror	A ‘handler’ function of a single argument, use to catch bperror conditions signalled by expr. A bperror is a base class to all errors signaled by BiocParallel code. When missing, the default returns the condition without signalling an error.
...	Additional named handlers passed to tryCatch(). These user-provided handlers are evaluated before default handlers bplist_error, bperror.

Value

The partially evaluated list of results.

Examples

param = registered()[[1]]
param
X = list(1, "2", 3)
bptry(bplapply(X, sqrt))                         # bplist_error handler
result <- bptry(bplapply(X, sqrt), bplist_error=identity)  # bperror handler
result
bpresult(result)
