Detailed Description

This class is the base of all exceptions thrown by BloCxx code.

It cannot be constructed directly, only subclasses can be instantiated.

Creating a correct subclass is facilitated by the macros defined in this file.

Exceptions should be thrown by using one of the BLOCXX_THROW_* macros which inserts the file and line number among other helpful things.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::Exception ( const char *  file,
int  line,
const char *  msg 
) [protected]

This constructor is deprecated.

Definition at line 87 of file Exception.cpp.

BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::Exception ( const char *  file,
int  line,
const char *  msg,
int  errorCode,
const Exception otherException = 0,
int  subClassId = UNKNOWN_SUBCLASS_ID 
) [protected]
Parameters:
fileThe filename of the code throwing the exception.
lineThe line of the code throwing the exception.
msgA human readable message associated with the exception.
errorCodeA number identifying the specific error that caused this exception.
otherExceptionA pointer to another exception. This allows for exception chaining, presumably otherException is the underlying cause that the current exception is being thrown. If otherException != 0, The new Exception instance will store and delete the result of calling otherException->clone(). otherException will not be saved.
subClassIdEach subclass of Exception may create an id. getSubClassId() will return this value. You may pass UNKNOWN_SUBCLASS_ID if no id is required. blocxx Ids are be registered in BLOCXX_ExceptionIds.hpp.

BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::~Exception ( ) throw () [virtual]

Member Function Documentation

Exception * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::clone ( ) const [virtual]

Make a copy of this exception object.

If allocation fails, return 0. Subclasses need to override this function. This function must not throw. Here is an example of how to implement this in a derived class:

virtual DerivedException* clone() const { return new(std::nothrow) DerivedException(*this); }

Reimplemented in BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::LoggerException, and BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::StringConversionException.

Definition at line 282 of file Exception.cpp.

char * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::dupString ( const char *  str)

Utility function to copy a string.

This function will not throw--if allocation fails, 0 is returned. The result must be free[]'d. if str == 0, 0 is returned. TODO: This function doesn't really belong on this class, but so far only this class and subclasses have a use for it.

Definition at line 72 of file Exception.cpp.

int BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::getErrorCode ( ) const

Returns the error code representing the error which occurred.

Code are unique only in the scope of the derived exception class. May return UNKNONWN_ERROR_CODE if the error is unavailable.

const char * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::getFile ( ) const

Returns the file.

May return 0.

const char * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::getMessage ( ) const [virtual]

Returns the message.

May return 0. This function will not throw. Derived class implementations must not throw.

const Exception * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::getSubException ( ) const

Returns the sub exception if available, otherwise 0.

void BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::rethrow ( ) const [virtual]

Re-throws the exception.

All derived classes should override this which makes it possible to catch a base class Exception and still re-thrown the derived class.

Reimplemented in BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::LoggerException, and BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::StringConversionException.

const char * BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::Exception::type ( ) const [virtual]

Returns a string representing the concrete type.

e.g. "SocketException". Will not return 0. This function will not throw. Derived class implementations must not throw.

Reimplemented in BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::LoggerException, and BLOCXX_NAMESPACE::StringConversionException.
