Hi! > I've been hearing this argument from time to time and I don't understand > it; aren't exceptions created with the sole purpose of (error) flow control?
No. Exceptions are meant for something that "should never happen". I.e., if your application reads its config files and they are not there, or connects to the database and database is not there - that's an exception. If you just have something like "user clicked this button and not that button" - it should not be an exception. Thus, exceptions should be used to handle cases which are not part of the normal program flow control. That said, it does not look like in this case (generators) it is being used wrongly, my initial impression was based on the lack of information, and turns out to be wrong. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Software Architect SugarCRM: http://www.sugarcrm.com/ (408)454-6900 ext. 227 -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
