9.2.42 continue [Restart]

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
