An interface for exception-handling in ANSI C (C89 and subsequent ISO
|
|
standards), developed jointly with Cosmin Truta.
|
|
|

This software may be modified only if its author and version
|

|
|
|
|
The cexcept interface is not compatible with and cannot interact
|
|
with system exceptions (like division by zero or memory segmentation
|
|
violation), compiler-generated exceptions (like C++ exceptions), or
|
|
other exception-handling interfaces.
|
|
|
|
When using this interface across multiple .c files, do not include
|
|
this header file directly. Instead, create a wrapper header file that
|
|
includes this header file and then invokes the define_exception_type
|
|
macro (see below). The .c files should then include that header file.
|
|
|
|
The interface consists of one type, one well-known name, and six macros.
|
|
|
|
|
|
define_exception_type(type_name);
|
|
|
|
This macro is used like an external declaration. It specifies
|
|
the type of object that gets copied from the exception thrower to
|
|
the exception catcher. The type_name can be any type that can be
|
|
assigned to, that is, a non-constant arithmetic type, struct, union,
|
|
or pointer. Examples:
|
|
|
|
define_exception_type(int);
|
|
|
|
enum exception { out_of_memory, bad_arguments, disk_full };
|
|
define_exception_type(enum exception);
|
|
|
|
struct exception { int code; const char *msg; };
|
|
define_exception_type(struct exception);
|
|
|
|
Because throwing an exception causes the object to be copied (not
|
|
just once, but twice), programmers may wish to consider size when
|
|
choosing the exception type.
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct exception_context;
|
|
|
|
This type may be used after the define_exception_type() macro has
|
|
been invoked. A struct exception_context must be known to both
|
|
the thrower and the catcher. It is expected that there be one
|
|
context for each thread that uses exceptions. It would certainly
|
|
be dangerous for multiple threads to access the same context.
|
|
One thread can use multiple contexts, but that is likely to be
|
|
confusing and not typically useful. The application can allocate
|
|
this structure in any way it pleases--automatic, static, or dynamic.
|
|
The application programmer should pretend not to know the structure
|
|
members, which are subject to change.
|
|
|
|
|
|
struct exception_context *the_exception_context;
|
|
|
|
The Try/Catch and Throw statements (described below) implicitly
|
|
refer to a context, using the name the_exception_context. It is
|
|
the application's responsibility to make sure that this name yields
|
|
the address of a mutable (non-constant) struct exception_context
|
|
wherever those statements are used. Subject to that constraint, the
|
|
application may declare a variable of this name anywhere it likes
|
|
(inside a function, in a parameter list, or externally), and may
|
|
use whatever storage class specifiers (static, extern, etc) or type
|
|
qualifiers (const, volatile, etc) it likes. Examples:
|
|
|
|
static struct exception_context
|
|
* const the_exception_context = &foo;
|
|
|
|
{ struct exception_context *the_exception_context = bar; ... }
|
|
|
|
int blah(struct exception_context *the_exception_context, ...);
|
|
|
|
extern struct exception_context the_exception_context[1];
|
|
|
|
The last example illustrates a trick that avoids creating a pointer
|
|
object separate from the structure object.
|
|
|
|
The name could even be a macro, for example:
|
|
|
|
struct exception_context ec_array[numthreads];
|
|
#define the_exception_context (ec_array + thread_id)
|
|
|
|
Be aware that the_exception_context is used several times by the
|
|
Try/Catch/Throw macros, so it shouldn't be expensive or have side
|
|
effects. The expansion must be a drop-in replacement for an
|
|
identifier, so it's safest to put parentheses around it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
void init_exception_context(struct exception_context *ec);
|
|
|
|
For context structures allocated statically (by an external
|
|
definition or using the "static" keyword), the implicit
|
|
initialization to all zeros is sufficient, but contexts allocated
|
|
by other means must be initialized using this macro before they
|
|
are used by a Try/Catch statement. It does no harm to initialize
|
|
a context more than once (by using this macro on a statically
|
|
allocated context, or using this macro twice on the same context),
|
|
but a context must not be re-initialized after it has been used by a
|
|
Try/Catch statement.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try statement
|
|
Catch (expression) statement
|
|
|
|
The Try/Catch/Throw macros are capitalized in order to avoid
|
|
confusion with the C++ keywords, which have subtly different
|
|
semantics.
|
|
|
|
A Try/Catch statement has a syntax similar to an if/else statement,
|
|
except that the parenthesized expression goes after the second
|
|
keyword rather than the first. As with if/else, there are two
|
|
clauses, each of which may be a simple statement ending with a
|
|
semicolon or a brace-enclosed compound statement. But whereas
|
|
the else clause is optional, the Catch clause is required. The
|
|
expression must be a modifiable lvalue (something capable of being
|
|
assigned to) of the same type (disregarding type qualifiers) that
|
|
was passed to define_exception_type().
|
|
|
|
If a Throw that uses the same exception context as the Try/Catch is
|
|
executed within the Try clause (typically within a function called
|
|
by the Try clause), and the exception is not caught by a nested
|
|
Try/Catch statement, then a copy of the exception will be assigned
|
|
to the expression, and control will jump to the Catch clause. If no
|
|
such Throw is executed, then the assignment is not performed, and
|
|
the Catch clause is not executed.
|
|
|
|
The expression is not evaluated unless and until the exception is
|
|
caught, which is significant if it has side effects, for example:
|
|
|
|
Try foo();
|
|
Catch (p[++i].e) { ... }
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: Jumping into or out of a Try clause (for example via
|
|
return, break, continue, goto, longjmp) is forbidden--the compiler
|
|
will not complain, but bad things will happen at run-time. Jumping
|
|
into or out of a Catch clause is okay, and so is jumping around
|
|
inside a Try clause. In many cases where one is tempted to return
|
|
from a Try clause, it will suffice to use Throw, and then return
|
|
from the Catch clause. Another option is to set a flag variable and
|
|
use goto to jump to the end of the Try clause, then check the flag
|
|
after the Try/Catch statement.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT: The values of any non-volatile automatic variables
|
|
changed within the Try clause are undefined after an exception is
|
|
caught. Therefore, variables modified inside the Try block whose
|
|
values are needed later outside the Try block must either use static
|
|
storage or be declared with the "volatile" type qualifier.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Throw expression;
|
|
|
|
A Throw statement is very much like a return statement, except that
|
|
the expression is required. Whereas return jumps back to the place
|
|
where the current function was called, Throw jumps back to the Catch
|
|
clause of the innermost enclosing Try clause. The expression must
|
|
be compatible with the type passed to define_exception_type(). The
|
|
exception must be caught, otherwise the program may crash.
|
|
|
|
Slight limitation: If the expression is a comma-expression, it must
|
|
be enclosed in parentheses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Try statement
|
|
Catch_anonymous statement
|
|
|
|
When the value of the exception is not needed, a Try/Catch statement
|
|
can use Catch_anonymous instead of Catch (expression).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Everything below this point is for the benefit of the compiler. The
|
|
application programmer should pretend not to know any of it, because it
|
|
is subject to change.
