  2. Exception handling (programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling...

    The implementation of exception handling in programming languages typically involves a fair amount of support from both a code generator and the runtime system accompanying a compiler. (It was the addition of exception handling to C++ that ended the useful lifetime of the original C++ compiler, Cfront. [18]) Two schemes are most common.

  3. Exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling

    The first hardware exception handling was found in the UNIVAC I from 1951. Arithmetic overflow executed two instructions at address 0 which could transfer control or fix up the result. [16] Software exception handling developed in the 1960s and 1970s. Exception handling was subsequently widely adopted by many programming languages from the ...

  4. Exception handling syntax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exception_handling_syntax

    The Perl mechanism for exception handling uses die to throw an exception when wrapped inside an eval {...}; block. After the eval, the special variable $@ contains the value passed from die. Perl 5.005 added the ability to throw objects as well as strings. This allows better introspection and handling of types of exceptions.

  5. Error hiding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Error_hiding

    In this C# example, all exceptions are caught regardless of type, and a new generic exception is thrown, keeping only the message of the original exception. The original stacktrace is lost, along with the type of the original exception, any exception for which the original exception was a wrapper, and any other information captured in the ...

  6. Floating-point error mitigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating-point_error...

    Variable-length arithmetic operations are considerably slower than fixed-length format floating-point instructions. When high performance is not a requirement, but high precision is, variable length arithmetic can prove useful, though the actual accuracy of the result may not be known.

  7. Automated exception handling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Exception_Handling

    This mechanism enables the automated handling of software errors independent of the application source code and of its developers. It is a direct artifact of the runtime engine paradigm and it enables unique advantages to the software life cycle that were unavailable before.

  8. Graceful exit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graceful_exit

    In a language that supports formal exception handling, a graceful exit may be the final step in the handling of an exception. In other languages graceful exits can be implemented with additional statements at the locations of possible errors.

  9. Comparison of Java and C++ - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Java_and_C++

    In Java, low level errors either cannot occur or are detected by the Java virtual machine (JVM) and reported to the application in the form of an exception. The Java language requires specific behavior in the case of an out-of-bounds array access, which generally requires bounds checking of array accesses. This eliminates a possible source of ...
