Subject: Exceptions: Are they GOTOs?

Message-ID: <brad.837052481@ss1> (raw)
What do people think about exception handling? I believe it to be a major
strength of Ada but there is a school of thought that exceptions are just
GOTO statements and should be avoided accordingly.
I think raising an exception is a neater way of handling an error than, say,
returning an error code or status.
I'd appreciate thoughts either way.
Thanks, Brad
