Subject: abort statement and exception handlers
Date: 1 Nov 90 09:28:00 GMT [thread overview]
Message-ID: <901101102851.03p@sic.epfl.ch> (raw)
Question on the design of the abort statement:
From LRM 9.10:
The completion of any other abnormal task need not happen before completion
of the abort statement. It must happen no later than when the abnormal
task reaches a synchronization point that is one of the following: the end
of its activation; a point where it causes the activation of another task;
an entry call; the start or the end of an accept statement; a select
statement; a delay statement; an exception handler; or an abort
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
statement. [....].
Does anybody know why exception handlers were included in this list ?
All other items in the list have something to do with tasking (that is,
they require a call to the run time system), but an exeption handler might
very well be supported by hardware.
