So here's the new code:
////
proc mythrow[T] : T = "throw $1;";
const fred: int = "fred";
try
var x = 1;
mythrow 20;
x = 10;
catch fred : int =>
x = 2;
println$ "Exception " + str fred;
endtry
println$ x;
////
The reason you still have to type the variable name is ...
I don't know how else to do it at the moment.
An obvious implementation is to convert the catch code into a procedure:
proc x73735 (fred:int) {
x = 2;
print$ ..
}
and then:
catch (int &exn) { x73735 exn; }
The problem with this .. and in many other similar cases is that
return
won't work. Felix has no frontend block concept.
This issue also impacts yield. It also changes the kind
of gotos, but Felix can handle non-local gotos.
Which suggests .. non-local returns.
Actually a block would be nice, which allowed local variables
without interfering with returns and perhaps supervisor calls,
as well as goto's into the block: the variables would be lifted out,
eliminating the block, and renamed to prevent a conflict.
Felix already has (AST level) identifier renaming routines,
the main problem with them is it makes diagnostics "down the track"
hard to understand (since you get told about identifiers whose names
were invented by the compiler .. :)
