OSSP ex - Exception Handling Library
Version 0.1.0 (26-Jan-2002)
ABSTRACT
The OSSP ex library is a small ISO-C++ style exception handling
library for use in the ISO-C language. It allows you to use the
paradigm of throwing and catching exceptions in order to reduce the
amount of error handling code in without making your program less
robust. This is achieved by directly transferring exceptional return
codes (and the program control flow) from the location where it was
raised (throw point) to the location where it is handled (catch point)
- usually from a deeply nested sub-routine to a parent routine. All
intermediate routines no longer have to make sure that the exceptional
return codes from sub-routines are correctly passed back to the
parent.
