- Sub: The Bus Error Trap
-
- Fellow MacAppers:
-
- There should be a general facility to check addresses for validity. It would
- be useful for debugging and possibly for improving the reliability of programs
- that call external code resources.
-
- Why not a new trap? This really is the only way to ensure that the check will
- work on future machines and systems. The execution speed of the trap is not a
- major concern.
-
- The trap would certainly not catch all possible bus errors, because it would be
- explicitly invoked, but I think that it could still be very useful to MacApp
- and regular Mac programming.
-
-
- Oblivious to the Details,
-
