re: Exception handling
by Nicolas Roard on Tue 25th May 2004 00:36 UTC

Well, it should be safer than the previous mechanism; the syntax has changed too, to be quite java-ish. Before, you had:

NS_DURING
// Your code
NS_HANDLER
// The exception handler
NS_ENDHANDLER

now, you'll have:

@try {
// Your code
}
@catch {
// The exception handler
}

Plus, you'll have the possibility of using a finalize block.
