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:
reject - dont handle this signal;
another handler will be searched for,
upper in the calling hierarchy
proceed - return from the Signal>>raise, with nil as value
proceedWith:val - same, but return val from Signal>>raise
return - return from the Signal>>handle:do:, with nil as value
returnWith:val - same, but return val from Signal>>handle:do:
(this is also the handlers default,
if it falls through; taking the handlerBlocks value
as return value)
restart - restart the Signal>>handle:do:, after repairing
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 errorString passed when the signal was raised. Also, an optional
parameter can be passed - the use is signal specific.:
[instance variables:]
signal <Signal> the signal which caused the exception
parameter <Object> a parameter (if any) which was passed when raising
the signal (only if raised with #raiseWith:aParameter)
errorString <String> an errorString
(usually the signals own errorString, but sometimes
changed explicitely in #raiseWith:errorString:)
suspendedContext <Context> the context in which the raise occured
handlerContext <Context> the context of the handler (if any)
resumeBlock <Block> private to the exception; needed to perform resume action
rejectBlock <Block> private to the exception; needed to perform reject action
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:
Exception emergencyHandler:[:ex | Smalltalk exitWithCoreDump]
[Class variables:]
EmergencyHandler <Block> this block is evaluated, if no handler was defined
for a signal (i.e. this one is responsible for the
unhandled exception debugger).
Having this being a block allows to globally catch
these errors - even when no enclosing handler-scope
around the erronous code exists.
(as the catch/through does).
RecursiveExceptionSignal
<Signal> raised when within a handler for some signal,
the same signal is raised again.

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.
Some commonly used (useful) emergency handlers are provided in the
'useful handlers' section; try them to learn more
(especially, the mailingHandler is fun).
Of course, these are only examples - you may define your own handler
block and pass it to the #emergencyHandler: method.
BTW: the Launchers 'source & debugger' settings menu allows you
to install either a default or the notifying handler.
A handler which shows a box, then aborts - (no more debuggers):
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:(Exception abortingEmergencyHandler)
[exEnd]
A handler which aborts - (no box, no debugger):
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:[:ex | AbortSignal raise]
[exEnd]
try some exception (for demonstration, in some other process):
[exBegin]
[
#(1 2 3) at:4
] fork.
[exEnd]
cleanup (switch back to the regular handler, which enters the debugger):
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:nil
[exEnd]
A handler which shows a warnBox and asks for debugging:
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:(Exception notifyingEmergencyHandler)
[exEnd]
A handler which dumps information to a file (watch the file 'errorTrace.stx'):
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:(Exception dumpingEmergencyHandler)
[exEnd]
A handler which sends you mail:
[exBegin]
Exception emergencyHandler:(Exception mailingEmergencyHandler)
[exEnd]
