Subject: Determining exception name in DEC Ada

Date: 1995-04-06T00:00:00+00:00	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <INFO-ADA%95040611415951@VM1.NODAK.EDU> (raw)

        Using DEC Ada on VAX/VMS systems, is there a way to determine which
exception has occurred without having to specifically trap it within the
exception handler.
        For example, I'd like to be able to do something like:
begin
    [blah]
    [blah]
    [blah]
exception
    when others =>
        text_io.put_line ("A " & exception_name & " has occurred.");
end;



        I don't want to have to do something like:
begin
    [blah]
    [blah]
    [blah]
exception
    when constraint_error =>
        text_io.put_line ("A constraint_error has occurred.");
    when numeric_error =>
        text_io.put_line ("A numeric_error has occurred.");
    when program_error =>
        text_io.put_line ("A program_error has occurred.");
    when others =>
        text_io.put_line ("A exception occurred and I have no idea which one.");
end;



Thanks in advance.
