Andrew MMath: Used (most of) Gregor's feedback to update the thesis. There are still a few \todo items as well as a general request for examples.

| 5 | In the previous chapters, this thesis presents the design and implementation
|
|---|
| 6 | of \CFA's exception handling mechanism (EHM).
|
|---|
| 7 | Both the design and implementation are based off of tools and
|
|---|
| 8 | techniques developed for other programming languages but they were adapted to
|
|---|
| 9 | better fit \CFA's feature set and add a few features that do not exist in
|
|---|
| 10 | other EHMs,
|
|---|
| 11 | including conditional matching, default handlers for unhandled exceptions
|
|---|
| 12 | and cancellation though coroutines and threads back to the program main stack.
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | The resulting features cover all of the major use cases of the most popular
|
|---|
| 15 | termination EHMs of today, along with reintroducing resumption exceptions and
|
|---|
| 16 | creating some new features that fit with \CFA's larger programming patterns,
|
|---|
| 17 | such as virtuals independent of traditional objects.
|
|---|
| 18 |
|
|---|
| 19 | The \CFA project's test suite has been expanded to test the EHM.
|
|---|
| 20 | The implementation's performance has also been
|
|---|
| 21 | compared to other implementations with a small set of targeted
|
|---|
| 22 | micro-benchmarks.
|
|---|
| 23 | The results, while not cutting edge, are good enough for prototyping, which
|
|---|
| 24 | is \CFA's current stage of development.
|
|---|
| 25 |
|
|---|
| 26 | This initial EHM will bring valuable new features to \CFA in its own right
|
|---|
| 27 | but also serves as a tool and motivation for other developments in the
|
|---|
| 28 | language.
