From: Diogenes Injection-Date: Sat, 30 Mar 2013 20:01:51 +0000 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Date: 2013-03-30T13:01:51-07:00 List-Id: First of all...thanks to everyone who have given me pointers on my initial = runtime hacking experiments. I'm really trucking now. Currently, just to gain some experience in this area, I building my own run= time targeted to the Native platform, but using a much more rigorous proces= s. Using the Spark tools, unit testing everything, etc... Since I'm working on the Ada Exceptions mechanism, I began to wonder if it = might not make sense to add security related exceptions as a possible exten= sion. I have ACLs going on one machine here, and of course Caps going on ot= hers. Would something like this be useful to the community, or would it be too mu= ch? Since a security related exception does not necessarily indicate an err= or in the program itself; it could indicate a conflict with the policy set = up by a System Administrator. Seems like it might be prudent to indicate th= at explicitly. Are there any other tweaks or extensions that people might find useful? Diogenes
