[long discussions about the value of parameterized exceptions snipped]
My 2 Euro-cents:
Exceptions are a programming tool, not a high level error-handling
mechanism.
In any project, you must define a policy for handling errors. Exceptions are
a powerful tool for unwinding the call stack, and without them, there are
many error handling policies that you could not define. They do NOT free you
from defining the policy for a project!
If you need to store more information when an error occurs, call some Error
procedure, and define it the way you like; there you can store the context
in a global variable, or if you need to make it tasking safe, in a task
attribute.
For those who can read french, there is a chapter in my book detailing these
issues (shameless plug: http://pro.wanadoo.fr/adalog/livrejpr.htm).
