- 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.
