rb51e389c r6071efc 4 4 This thesis goes over the design and implementation of the exception handling 5 5 mechanism (EHM) of 6 \CFA (pernounced sea-for-all and may be written Cforall or CFA). 6 \CFA (pronounced sea-for-all and may be written Cforall or CFA). 7 \CFA is a new programming language that extends C, that maintains 8 backwards-compatibility while introducing modern programming features. 9 Adding exception handling to \CFA gives it new ways to handle errors and 10 make other large control-flow jumps. 7 11 8 12 % Now take a step back and explain what exceptions are generally. … … 27 31 \end{center} 28 32 29 Resumption exception handling calls a function, but asks the functions on the30 stack what function that is.33 Resumption exception handling seaches the stack for a handler and then calls 34 it without adding or removing any other stack frames. 31 35 \todo{Add a diagram showing control flow for resumption.} 32 36 … … 77 81 exceptions which unwind the stack as part of the 78 82 Exceptions also can replace return codes and return unions. 79 In functional languages will also sometimes fold exceptions into monads.80 83 81 84 The contributions of this work are:
