Subject: Comparison of Ada and C++ exceptions?
Message-ID: <275plh$smn@aggedor.rmit.OZ.AU>
List-Id: <comp.lang.ada>

Recently I had reason to look at C++'s exception handling. I noticed that
each
exception can have associated with it some data (user defined), such as a
string, a pointer - in fact any object the programmer wants. 

I don't think Ada9x's exceptions have any such feature, and I was
wondering
what the general feeling about this was.

Is it useful to be able to pass data along with an exception?
