ExceptionError_test Class Reference

Description

Some aspects of C++ exception handling.

Not to be confused with the basic C-style error value mechanism used by the low-level parts of the vault. Both approaches are largely orthogonal, but the C++ exception handling uses the C-style error constants.

Member Function Documentation

throwSpecial()

void throwSpecial ( string  )

inlineprivate

Test:

simply throw some exception and pass context info

Definition at line 92 of file exception-error-test.cpp.

nestedThrower()

void nestedThrower ( string  msg )

inlineprivate

Test:

catching, repackaging and rethrowing of errors.

This feature is important for passing exceptions transparently over several layers. The nested operation will throw an error::External, which we are able to catch because it is derived from std::exception. We don't need to know the exact type, but we can classify the error situation as a "state error" and throw an error::State, passing on the root cause. Some levels up, this error get caught and the root cause can be extracted successfully.
