cexcept.h 2.0.0 (2001-Jul-12-Thu)
Adam M. Costello <[e-mail]>

An interface for exception-handling in ANSI C (C89 and subsequent ISO
standards), developed jointly with Cosmin Truta <[e-mail]>.

    Copyright (c) 2001 Adam M. Costello and Cosmin Truta.  Everyone
    is hereby granted permission to do whatever they like with this
    file, provided that if they modify it they take reasonable steps to
    avoid confusing or misleading people about the authors, version,
    and terms of use of the derived file.  The copyright holders make
    no guarantees regarding this file, and are not responsible for any
    damage resulting from its use.

Only user-defined exceptions are supported, not "real" exceptions like
division by zero or memory segmentation violations.

If this interface is used by multiple .c files, they shouldn't 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), and let your .c files 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.
