hmm, from a programmers perspective, most sensible programming languages crash when there is an error that is not handled. in other words, errors should never be silently ignored. error handling should be explicit, but catching errors without handling them (which fish seems to be doing here) is frowned upon. in that context, error handling means catching an error and dealing with it appropriately as opposed to letting the default error handler take over which usually leads to an exit and for good programming languages the printing of a backtrace. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ November Webinars for C, C++, Fortran Developers Accelerate application performance with scalable programming models.
