source: code/branches/objecthierarchy2/src/util/Exception.h @ 2731

Last change on this file since 2731 was 2259, checked in by rgrieder, 16 years ago

The idea with exceptions is that you can throw them without having the user to actually see. Imagine a parser: Whenever it encounters something really bad, an exception is thrown. But the message you would like to display might be much nicer, for instance "Could not parse the selected file. Error in line ##".
Btw: There is a little explanation just above the code in Exception.h.

  • Property svn:eol-style set to native
