From kde-devel Wed Aug 15 14:57:15 2001 From: Adriaan de Groot Date: Wed, 15 Aug 2001 14:57:15 +0000 To: kde-devel Subject: Those dern C++ exceptions X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=99788768311869 Well, the KDE KC reminded me of the discussion again, about whether or not C++ exceptions have a place in Qt / KDE. Right now I'm at a conference on software architectures and Tom Cargill was cited as someone who knows (tm) about exception handling. Of course, this was in the same sentence as "exceptions are gotos on steroids" and "Dijkstra's 'goto considered bad' is spot on," so you know that C++ exceptions *in* *general* are going to be dissed, not just any particular implementation thereof. Here's the URL, and that combined with Waldo's sage words should convince, well, some people: http://cseng.aw.com/book/related/0,3833,020163371X+11,00.html -- +------------------------------+--------------------------------------------+ + Adriaan de Groot + Project: FRESCoS + + adridg@cs.kun.nl + Private: adridg@sci.kun.nl + + Kamer A6020 tel. 024 3652272 + http://www.cs.kun.nl/~adridg/frescos/ + >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
