From 2c80c2a55af259abe79e9c531ca964d1f41c8634 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: leftibot Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2026 19:02:32 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 1/4] Fix #63: Derive eval_error from std::nested_exception and wrap thrown exceptions eval_error now inherits from both std::runtime_error and std::nested_exception, enabling users to access the original exception via rethrow_nested() or nested_ptr(). The engine's eval() method wraps uncaught Boxed_Value exceptions in eval_error, nesting the original Boxed_Value so it can be recovered. exception_specification continues to work for typed exception unboxing.

The new rethrow_typed(engine) method provides auto-unboxing without requiring exception_specification to be passed to eval(). This delivers the API simplification envisioned in issue #63: users can catch eval_error, inspect the call stack, and rethrow as typed exceptions in a single catch block.
