Nested exceptions
Hi, I'm getting this warning from some of my code: ERROR: Removing exception handler that is not on top of the stack. (You probably called return in an NS_DURING block.) I am not calling return in an NS_DURING block, but I am raising an exception in one of these blocks (the parser throws an exception to the tokeniser, which then throws a more informative one including source locations). Do I need to do something to remove the current handler from the stack before I do this? David ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

If you are inside an NS_DURING block and throw an exception, the exception is caught by that block and goes to the NS_HANDLER at the end of the block, and the handler is the one on top of the stack and is removed at that point. Most likely the warning is correct, but is referring to a different NS_DURING block to the one you think it means ... ie an NS_DURING block in some code called indirectly be the code inside your NS_DURING block. Maybe the problem is not even in your own code, but inside some library code you are calling. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

Sorry, I meant to say that I am throwing an exception in an NS_HANDLER block - I am not returning from inside NS_DURING or NS_HANDLER.

Sorry, I meant to say that I am throwing an exception in an NS_HANDLER block - I am not returning from inside NS_DURING or NS_HANDLER. I think the same applies ... if you are inside a hander block, then the handler for that block has already been removed ... so you should only get the error if, within the handler, you call some code which does a return from inside an exception block, so that when your exception is caught, the handler on top of the stack does not match your position. ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev
