In our previous episode, ik said: > But we use exceptions even on places such as StrToInt, when the string is > not an integer number, but we can expect to either have a number or > something else. So why use an exception there ?
Because much used routines like strtoint are often used without proper checking. So strtoint throws exceptions, and people that want to handle errors properly use trystrtoint. > What do you think on this subject ? How would you choose when or where to > use exceptions and why there ? Roughly the same as you. Few exceptions, and usually when in to abort fairly deeply nested code. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
