[net.lang.ada] Handle Exceptions

MIXSIM@sperry-csd.CSNET (05/15/86)

Hello People,
  I have been looking at exception handling lately, and I almost
got sick.  There are no scoping rules at run time, other than the "others"
clause. And debugging on VAX ada with exceptions is a pain. No traceback.
Are there any articles or PHD thesis or writing on bathroom walls that have
been dedicated to the design of exception handling.  would appreciatte.

                               Thanks,
                                 Mike

The debugger command "SET BREAK/EXCEPTIONS DO (SHOW CALLS;GO)" will
give you a traceback on each exception raised.

The traceback in Vax/VMS Ada/Debug will not be complete unless you
do "set module" on all of the interesting modules.
