Behave. I have also expressed precisely that concern earlier in this thread.
Yes, and it was quite eloquently stated, too:
Of course the other burning question is why someone might want exception handling:
- to write good quality robust code, but without the messiness of error code handling
- to use badly written unstable garbage, and get away with it.
Personally, I genuinely prefer the messiness of error code handling, as it is easier to follow and easier to debug, and of course I worry that (most) people will think they are getting something which is actually really hard to do right, for free.
I've already clarified that exception handling is not the same as error code handling.
As for what I'd written, what I meant to have written was:
I don't recall anyone promoting try/catch is suggesting it could "substitute for good coding".
I hope this is more clear. There was no intent to ignore what you'd written earlier.
But did you pay attention to what you're written?
Frankly, it was inflammatory and insulting.
