Not at all. Exceptions are not like gotos; in particular, an exception cannot be used to jump *into* a construct. The major problems with gotos are that they can be used to do branches that are downward or sideways in the code parse tree (versus "structured" constructs, which do such branches upward only). Exceptions are upward-only branches, and as a result don't have most of the problems gotos do. /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ Secure Coding mailing list (SC-L) SC-L@securecoding.org List information, subscriptions, etc - http://krvw.com/mailman/listinfo/sc-l List charter available at - http://www.securecoding.org/list/charter.php
