?!? This sort of "exception handling" is never a good thing. Its use makes for ugly, unmaintainable code. One problem is that what libparted calls "exception handling" is an ugly kludge that can make the library code produce output and/or try to read an interactive reply from the user (things libraries must not do, in general). In addition, how the handler behaves depends on static state, which is another big no-no for a library. _______________________________________________ parted-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/parted-devel
