Builtins.Getting_Tag_From_Non_Union (3kaya)

Builtins::Getting_Tag_From_Non_Union( )

This Exception is thrown when a case statement is used on something other than an ADT, for example:

• i = 5; case i of {

       A(a) -> putStrLn(a);
       | B(b) -> putStrLn(b);
  

  }

In the example, the compiler would catch the error - in practice this error can occur when accessing an uninitialised value, or a value with inconsistent type information due to foreign function calls.
