+ 2 Exceptions

Felix programs can throw a number of exceptions representing errors. Such exceptions cannot be handled. The Felix RTL catches these exceptions, displays a diagnostic, and then terminates the program.

Exceptions thrown in a thread should also terminate the program, that is, the whole containing process and any child processes if the OS supports that.

These exceptions are for fatal errors only.

Internally Felix may throw continuations to unwind the machine stack so that a long jump (non-local goto) can be executed in a top level procedure.

Exception handling is, however, supported in one very special case: it is allowed to directly wrap a C++ primitive function with a try/catch/entry construction. General Felix code can NOT be wrapped because procedures do not use the machine stack to retain continuations (return addresses).

In general C++ style dynamic exception handling is unsafe and should not be used.

+ 3 Handling Exceptions

These exception handlers are called with standard C++ exceptions or Felix exceptions, decoded as best as possible, an error message printed, and the program terminated.

Note that at the time of writing, exception decoding does not work when using clang 3.3 and the exception is thrown across a DLL boundary. This is a bug in clang handling dynamic_casts across DLL boundaries. Gcc does not have this bug.
