    Note:

    GenericException and its subclasses implement the same protocol as Signal.

    So class based exceptions may be implemented as subclasses of GenericException.

    Normally all exceptions are subclasses of Exception. Exceptions, that are

    used for debugging or that are signalling errors in the exception system itself

    are direct subclasses of GenericException.

    Instances of Exception are passed to a Signal handling block as argument.

    The handler block may perform various actions by sending corresponding messages

    to the exception object. The following actions are possible:

    Via the Exception object, the handler can also query the state of execution:

    where the Signal was raised, where the handler is, the signal which caused

    the error and the messageText passed when the signal was raised. Also, an optional

    parameter can be passed - the use is signal specific.

    [instance variables:]

    In case of an unhandled signal raise, Exceptions EmergenyHandler will be evaluated.

    The default emergeny handler will enter the debugger.

    For applications, which do not want Debuggers to come up, other handlers are

    possible.

    For example, to get the typical C++ behavior, use:

    Raising:

    all of the 3 messages above come in various flavours:

examples

"

    Examples on Exception-raising & handling are found in the doc/coding

    section (CodingExamples).

    The emergencyHandler stuff is very useful, to prevent endUser applications

    from entering the debugger. See the examples in NoHandlerError.
