Exception related utilities.

heat.openstack.common.excutils.save_and_reraise_exception(*args, **kwds)[source]

Save current exception, run some code and then re-raise.

In some cases the exception context can be cleared, resulting in None being attempted to be re-raised after an exception handler is run. This can happen when eventlet switches greenthreads or when running an exception handler, code raises and catches an exception. In both cases the exception context will be cleared.

To work around this, we save the exception state, run handler code, and then re-raise the original exception. If another exception occurs, the saved exception is logged and the new exception is re-raised.
