CLHS: Restart CONTINUE

#

Restart CONTINUE

Data Arguments Required:

None.

Description:

The continue restart is generally part of protocols where there is a single ``obvious'' way to continue, such as in break and cerror. Some user-defined protocols may also wish to incorporate it for similar reasons. In general, however, it is more reliable to design a special purpose restart with a name that more directly suits the particular application.

Examples:

     (let ((x 3))
       (handler-bind ((error #'(lambda (c)
                                 (let ((r (find-restart 'continue c)))
                                   (when r (invoke-restart r))))))
         (cond ((not (floatp x))
                (cerror "Try floating it." "~D is not a float." x)
                (float x))
               (t x)))) =>  3.0
