Re: New style exception handling

[Larry Campbell]

Here's the program:

#include <Foundation/Foundation.h>

void throwException()
{
    NSLog(@"Throwing");
    @throw [NSException exceptionWithName:@"new style" reason:@"new  
style" userInfo:nil];
}

void test()
{
    @try {
        NSLog(@"Testing new style catch with throw");
        throwException();
    } @catch (NSException *e) {
        NSLog(@"caught a throw");
        NSLog(@"throwException() threw %@", e);
    }
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [NSAutoreleasePool new];
    test();
    [pool release];
    return 0;
}


I'm compiling for and on linux 2.4 on a Pentium 4 processor. I am not  
using gnustep-objc; I'm using the libobjc from gcc 4.1.
