func attempt<T>(_ expression: @autoclosure () throws -> T, handler:
(ErrorProtocol) -> T) -> T {
do {
return try expression()
} catch {
return handler(error)
}
}
let x = attempt(downloadDataOrThrow()) {
print("Connection lost")
return nil
}
It mimics guard statement. You can also have versions of attempt with
partially defined handlers, like “return nil“ or “print and crash”, or
“assert type of error”.
