--------------------------------
Summary: libhfds++: C++ exceptions should never escape the C API
Key: HDFS-9827
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-9827
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Sub-task
Reporter: Bob Hansen
Some low-level subsystems (asio, rapidxml) throw exceptions on error. While
our internal code doesn't utilize exceptions, these are part of the libraries
we are using.
Calls to asio should be wrapped in try blocks.
For additional safety, all of the C api implementations should have
try...catch(...) blocks to catch any C++ exceptions and make sure they don't
bring down the calling stack, which might have no concept of exceptions.
