In this short paper we argue in favour of the value of language support for exceptions. To make our case, we first spell out what we consider exceptions to be about and then discuss reasons for the timid use of them by Ada programmers so far. Finally, we present requirements for an enhanced exception model that, we expect, would increase the confidence and the take up of users.

Abstract

In this short paper we argue in favour of the value of language support for exceptions. To make our case, we first spell out what we consider exceptions to be about and then discuss reasons for the timid use of them by Ada programmers so far. Finally, we present requirements for an enhanced exception model that, we expect, would increase the confidence and the take up of users.
