Detailed Description

The Dune-exceptions are designed to allow a simple derivation of subclasses and to accept a text written in the '<<' syntax.

Example of usage:

#include <dune/common/exceptions.hh>
 
...
 
class FileNotFoundError : public Dune::IOError {};
 
...
 
void fileopen (std::string name) {
std::ifstream file;
 
file.open(name.c_str());
 
if (file == 0)
 DUNE_THROW(FileNotFoundError, "File " << name << " not found!");
 
...
 
file.close();
}
 
...
 
int main () {
try {
 ...
} catch (Dune::IOError &e) {
 std::cerr << "I/O error: " << e << std::endl;
 return 1;
} catch (Dune::Exception &e) {
 std::cerr << "Generic Dune error: " << e << std::endl;
 return 2;
}
}

Macro Definition Documentation

DUNE_THROW

#define DUNE_THROW	(		E,
			m
	)

Value:

                              do { E th__ex; std::ostringstream th__out; \
                              th__out << THROWSPEC(E) << m; th__ex.message(th__out.str()); throw th__ex; \
} while (0)

Macro to throw an exception

#include <dune/common/exceptions.hh>

Parameters

E	exception class derived from Dune::Exception
m	reason for this exception in ostream-notation

Example:

if (filehandle == 0)
 DUNE_THROW(FileError, "Could not open " << filename << " for reading!");

DUNE_THROW automatically adds information about the exception thrown to the text.

Note

you can add a hook to be called before a Dune::Exception is emitted, e.g. to add additional information to the exception, or to invoke a debugger during parallel debugging. (see Dune::ExceptionHook)

Examples

recipe-operator-splitting.cc.

Function Documentation

registerHook()

void Dune::Exception::registerHook ( ExceptionHook *  hook )

static

add a functor which is called before a Dune::Exception is emitted (see Dune::ExceptionHook)
