- <h3 class="section">8.7 Exceptions</h3>
- <p>GNU Objective-C provides exception support built into the language, as
- in the following example:
- </p>
- <div class="smallexample">
- <pre class="smallexample"> @try {
- …
- @throw expr;
- …
- }
- @catch (AnObjCClass *exc) {
- …
- @throw expr;
- …
- @throw;
- …
- }
- @catch (AnotherClass *exc) {
- …
- }
- @catch (id allOthers) {
- …
- }
- @finally {
- …
- @throw expr;
- …
- }
- </pre></div>
- <p>The <code>@throw</code> statement may appear anywhere in an Objective-C or
- Objective-C++ program; when used inside of a <code>@catch</code> block, the
- <code>@throw</code> may appear without an argument (as shown above), in
- which case the object caught by the <code>@catch</code> will be rethrown.
- </p>
- <p>Note that only (pointers to) Objective-C objects may be thrown and
- caught using this scheme. When an object is thrown, it will be caught
- by the nearest <code>@catch</code> clause capable of handling objects of
- that type, analogously to how <code>catch</code> blocks work in C++ and
- Java. A <code>@catch(id …)</code> clause (as shown above) may also
- be provided to catch any and all Objective-C exceptions not caught by
- previous <code>@catch</code> clauses (if any).
- </p>
- <p>The <code>@finally</code> clause, if present, will be executed upon exit
- from the immediately preceding <code>@try … @catch</code> section.
- This will happen regardless of whether any exceptions are thrown,
- caught or rethrown inside the <code>@try … @catch</code> section,
- analogously to the behavior of the <code>finally</code> clause in Java.
- </p>
- <p>There are several caveats to using the new exception mechanism:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li> The <samp>-fobjc-exceptions</samp> command line option must be used when
- compiling Objective-C files that use exceptions.
- </li><li> With the GNU runtime, exceptions are always implemented as “native”
- exceptions and it is recommended that the <samp>-fexceptions</samp> and
- <samp>-shared-libgcc</samp> options are used when linking.
- </li><li> With the NeXT runtime, although currently designed to be binary
- compatible with <code>NS_HANDLER</code>-style idioms provided by the
- <code>NSException</code> class, the new exceptions can only be used on Mac
- OS X 10.3 (Panther) and later systems, due to additional functionality
- needed in the NeXT Objective-C runtime.
- </li><li> As mentioned above, the new exceptions do not support handling
- types other than Objective-C objects. Furthermore, when used from
- Objective-C++, the Objective-C exception model does not interoperate with C++
- exceptions at this time. This means you cannot <code>@throw</code> an exception
- from Objective-C and <code>catch</code> it in C++, or vice versa
- (i.e., <code>throw … @catch</code>).
- </li></ul>
