The process is indeed trapping exits.
I see my debug io:format() from my terminate() function before the call
to xmerl:export/3, but not the ones after. In the following code
(edited) I see 'before_xmerl_export', but nothing after (related to that
process):
terminate(Reason, State) ->
?D(Reason),
{memory, Memory} = erlang:process_info(self(), memory),
error_logger:info_msg(
"~p session '~s' memory usage ~B\n", [self(), Name, Memory]),
Prolog = ["<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>"],
?D(Prolog),
Xml = getXml(State),
?D(before_xmerl_export),
try xmerl:export(
[Xml],
xmerl_xml,
[#xmlAttribute{name = prolog, value = Prolog}]) of
StrData ->
?D(before_list_to_binary),
Data = list_to_binary(StrData),
case file:write_file(Name2, Data) of
ok ->
error_logger:info_msg("~p session '~s' saved\n",
[self(), Name2]);
{error, Error} ->
error_logger:error_msg(
"~p session '~s' NOT saved\nError ~p\n",
[self(), Name2, Error])
end
catch
throw:X -> ?D(throw), ?D(X);
exit:X -> ?D(exit), ?D(X);
error:X -> ?D(error), ?D(X)
end,
ok.
