   7 An interface for exception-handling in ANSI C (C89 and subsequent ISO
   8 standards), developed jointly with Cosmin Truta.

  18
  19 The cexcept interface is not compatible with and cannot interact
  20 with system exceptions (like division by zero or memory segmentation
  21 violation), compiler-generated exceptions (like C++ exceptions), or
  22 other exception-handling interfaces.
  23
  24 When using this interface across multiple .c files, do not include
  25 this header file directly.  Instead, create a wrapper header file that
  26 includes this header file and then invokes the define_exception_type
  27 macro (see below).  The .c files should then include that header file.
  28
  29 The interface consists of one type, one well-known name, and six macros.
  30
  31
  32 define_exception_type(type_name);
  33
  34     This macro is used like an external declaration.  It specifies
  35     the type of object that gets copied from the exception thrower to
  36     the exception catcher.  The type_name can be any type that can be
  37     assigned to, that is, a non-constant arithmetic type, struct, union,
  38     or pointer.  Examples:
  39
  40         define_exception_type(int);
  41
  42         enum exception { out_of_memory, bad_arguments, disk_full };
  43         define_exception_type(enum exception);
  44
  45         struct exception { int code; const char *msg; };
  46         define_exception_type(struct exception);
  47
  48     Because throwing an exception causes the object to be copied (not
  49     just once, but twice), programmers may wish to consider size when
  50     choosing the exception type.
  51
  52
  53 struct exception_context;
  54
  55     This type may be used after the define_exception_type() macro has
  56     been invoked.  A struct exception_context must be known to both
  57     the thrower and the catcher.  It is expected that there be one
  58     context for each thread that uses exceptions.  It would certainly
  59     be dangerous for multiple threads to access the same context.
  60     One thread can use multiple contexts, but that is likely to be
  61     confusing and not typically useful.  The application can allocate
  62     this structure in any way it pleases--automatic, static, or dynamic.
  63     The application programmer should pretend not to know the structure
  64     members, which are subject to change.
  65
  66
  67 struct exception_context *the_exception_context;
  68
  69     The Try/Catch and Throw statements (described below) implicitly
  70     refer to a context, using the name the_exception_context.  It is
  71     the application's responsibility to make sure that this name yields
  72     the address of a mutable (non-constant) struct exception_context
  73     wherever those statements are used.  Subject to that constraint, the
  74     application may declare a variable of this name anywhere it likes
  75     (inside a function, in a parameter list, or externally), and may
  76     use whatever storage class specifiers (static, extern, etc) or type
  77     qualifiers (const, volatile, etc) it likes.  Examples:
  78
  79         static struct exception_context
  80           * const the_exception_context = &foo;
  81
  82         { struct exception_context *the_exception_context = bar; ... }
  83
  84         int blah(struct exception_context *the_exception_context, ...);
  85
  86         extern struct exception_context the_exception_context[1];
  87
  88     The last example illustrates a trick that avoids creating a pointer
  89     object separate from the structure object.
  90
  91     The name could even be a macro, for example:
  92
  93         struct exception_context ec_array[numthreads];
  94         #define the_exception_context (ec_array + thread_id)
  95
  96     Be aware that the_exception_context is used several times by the
  97     Try/Catch/Throw macros, so it shouldn't be expensive or have side
  98     effects.  The expansion must be a drop-in replacement for an
  99     identifier, so it's safest to put parentheses around it.
 100
 101
 102 void init_exception_context(struct exception_context *ec);
 103
 104     For context structures allocated statically (by an external
 105     definition or using the "static" keyword), the implicit
 106     initialization to all zeros is sufficient, but contexts allocated
 107     by other means must be initialized using this macro before they
 108     are used by a Try/Catch statement.  It does no harm to initialize
 109     a context more than once (by using this macro on a statically
 110     allocated context, or using this macro twice on the same context),
 111     but a context must not be re-initialized after it has been used by a
 112     Try/Catch statement.
 113
 114
 115 Try statement
 116 Catch (expression) statement
 117
 118     The Try/Catch/Throw macros are capitalized in order to avoid
 119     confusion with the C++ keywords, which have subtly different
 120     semantics.
 121
 122     A Try/Catch statement has a syntax similar to an if/else statement,
 123     except that the parenthesized expression goes after the second
 124     keyword rather than the first.  As with if/else, there are two
 125     clauses, each of which may be a simple statement ending with a
 126     semicolon or a brace-enclosed compound statement.  But whereas
 127     the else clause is optional, the Catch clause is required.  The
 128     expression must be a modifiable lvalue (something capable of being
 129     assigned to) of the same type (disregarding type qualifiers) that
 130     was passed to define_exception_type().
 131
 132     If a Throw that uses the same exception context as the Try/Catch is
 133     executed within the Try clause (typically within a function called
 134     by the Try clause), and the exception is not caught by a nested
 135     Try/Catch statement, then a copy of the exception will be assigned
 136     to the expression, and control will jump to the Catch clause.  If no
 137     such Throw is executed, then the assignment is not performed, and
 138     the Catch clause is not executed.
 139
 140     The expression is not evaluated unless and until the exception is
 141     caught, which is significant if it has side effects, for example:
 142
 143         Try foo();
 144         Catch (p[++i].e) { ... }
 145
 146     IMPORTANT: Jumping into or out of a Try clause (for example via
 147     return, break, continue, goto, longjmp) is forbidden--the compiler
 148     will not complain, but bad things will happen at run-time.  Jumping
 149     into or out of a Catch clause is okay, and so is jumping around
 150     inside a Try clause.  In many cases where one is tempted to return
 151     from a Try clause, it will suffice to use Throw, and then return
 152     from the Catch clause.  Another option is to set a flag variable and
 153     use goto to jump to the end of the Try clause, then check the flag
 154     after the Try/Catch statement.
 155
 156     IMPORTANT: The values of any non-volatile automatic variables
 157     changed within the Try clause are undefined after an exception is
 158     caught.  Therefore, variables modified inside the Try block whose
 159     values are needed later outside the Try block must either use static
 160     storage or be declared with the "volatile" type qualifier.
 161
 162
 163 Throw expression;
 164
 165     A Throw statement is very much like a return statement, except that
 166     the expression is required.  Whereas return jumps back to the place
 167     where the current function was called, Throw jumps back to the Catch
 168     clause of the innermost enclosing Try clause.  The expression must
 169     be compatible with the type passed to define_exception_type().  The
 170     exception must be caught, otherwise the program may crash.
 171
 172     Slight limitation:  If the expression is a comma-expression, it must
 173     be enclosed in parentheses.
 174
 175
 176 Try statement
 177 Catch_anonymous statement
 178
 179     When the value of the exception is not needed, a Try/Catch statement
 180     can use Catch_anonymous instead of Catch (expression).
 181
 182
 183 Everything below this point is for the benefit of the compiler.  The
 184 application programmer should pretend not to know any of it, because it
 185 is subject to change.
