I know functions are allowed to throw exceptions in Ada. What i want to know is acceptable practice? I use exceptions with procedures, no problem, but someone -- can't remember who exactly, it was ages ago -- suggested it's bad practice! What do you think? If i remember correctly i think this related to C++, or something, so maybe it's irrelevant to Ada. Just curious, Chris Campbell
