Hi all,
I am, as many others, looking into Ada95. I am currently using C++, and
am increasingly aware of some more or less serious flaws in the C++
language.
One thing that puzzles me in Ada95 is that exceptions isn't
hierarchical like in C++ and Delphi (and others, that I don't know of :)
). This would also help in the Numeric_Error is_a Constraint_Error problem.
As OOP has been built into the language, class hierarchies/libraries will
be built (or transferred from C++, maybe?); and these will probably throw
exceptions.
As far as I can see, a hierarchy of exceptions would help a lot in such
a library.
What is the rationale for this (I couldn't find it in either the AARM or
the Rationale).
Greetings from Jens Jakob Jensen, Denmark (using my fathers account)
