Mac Developers documentation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This directory is composed of documents useful/relevant to Mac
Developers:
* UNIX TOOLS FOR FORMER MAC DEVELOPERS:
documents the steps one former Mac developer took in order to
put together a useful UNIX developement environment,
resembling the previously employed Mac one.
* CppExceptionHandling.html:
C++ EXCEPTION HANDLING, Copyright ⌐ Kent Sandvik 1995-1996.
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.
If you know of any documents that would augment this collection, pleeeeeze
contact the DTjanitor.
