Hey guys, I'm not weighing in on checked v unchecked, just a syntax sugar
idea!
We've got two ifs:
if (foo)
bar();
and
if (foo) {
bar();
}
So why not introduce a cut-down syntax for common exceptions? Something like
this:
try file=File.open(...) catch(SomeException se, OtherException oe);
Which would be expanded out by the compiler to this:
SomeException se = null;
OtherException oe = null;
try {
file = File.open(...);
} catch (SomeException e) {
se = e;
} catch (OtherException e) {
oe = e;
}
And you can check the contents of the exception or not at your leisure.
Thoughts?
