Mmmh... are you sure about that? Do you have references? I would be extremely surprised if any of these three influential C++ gurus ever disowned exceptions. Or maybe they meant to disagree with the specific C++ implementation? Looking forward to reading whatever you read about this topic. - declarations give the false impression that they are the only Exceptions > that might be thrown Yup, it's a problem that completely disappears with checked exceptions: no more lying to the compiler nor to the developers. There was only positive thing that came out of C++... Ah come on, now, that's just bad trolling. I'm not a big fan of C++ these days (I used to) but its influence and the plethora of ideas and language designs that it generated is being used in new languages today and for many years to come. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
