The dispatcher calls
repr()
if no overload matches, butrepr()
may throw causing the process to terminate with an uncaught exception. Handle that case more gracefully by catching the exception and instead using a string that simply says thatrepr
threw.With more work we could describe the exception but that seems unnecessary given the caller can just call
repr()
on the argument themselves if they want.Fixes jax-ml/jax#1257
