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