C++ exception handling is a new feature that has been recently added to the Metrowerks C++ environment (and soon available with the Symantec C++ environment as well). Earlier various frameworks provided macros and various capabilities that emulated to some degree exception handling including emulating the syntax and semantics defined in the Annotated C++ Reference manual (MacApp, TCL, PowerPlant) using setjmp/longjmp and similar techniques. The Annotated C++ Reference Manual, Ellis & Stroustrup, is by the way the reference that C++ programmers should use, and the future ANSI C++ reference will most likely take over the role as the rule book for portable C++ code.C++ exception handling has not been widely available to Macintosh programmers until now. Most of the C++ literature dealing with exception handling tend to be more academical in nature versus showing how exception handling could be used in real life programming exercises. This article will attempt to provide simple examples to get you started with using exception handling in C++ programming work for Macintosh applications.
