For CLR/CIL: exceptions (SEH) are an OS-level primitive on Windows, and exception control flow can pass through other languages, including native code (C++, C, Delphi etc.). If your CIL code is being called via a callback from native code, you may want to be able to throw an exception and catch it on the other side. Not highly recommended, of course. -- Barry -- http://barrkel.blogspot.com/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
