You can intersperse decoding errors in the output, e.g. output is [Either Error DecodedChunk]. Then all the processors have to deal with it, but if you just want to pass the error through then just 'map . fmap' instead of 'map'. This means processors can also inject their own errors or logs into the output, which may be very useful. Or you could use runtime exceptions, i.e. the decoder is lazy but can call error. This is bad for reliability but if you know you always want to crash on a bad parse it keeps the return value simple. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
