Yes. It means "type" as in the type system. If the class of the exception being thrown is equal to or is a subclass of the type of the pointer provided in the @catch directive, then that @catch block will be executed. The first one to match wins. > I do have some experience with exception handling, but Objective-C's has > very few parallels with that of mainframe assembler. This is a very different sort of exception handling. Hardware exception handling has better parallels with the signal system (`man 3 signal` for more info). Exception handling in most languages is more involved with the structure of your program. --Kyle Sluder _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
