Throwing and Handling Exceptions
We throw an exception when we want to postpone the effect of an event (which is probably an error).
In order to accomplish this we use the throw statement.
After the throw keyword we have to give an expression (a constant or a variable or maybe an object).
Exception handling can be done using the try and catch blocks.
C++ 4
The try and catch Blocks
The try - catch construction: try compound-statement handler-sequence
The handler-sequence is composed of one or more handlers. Each handler has the form:
catch(exception-declaration)compound-statement
The exception-declaration is similar to the formal parameters of functions.
C++ 5
Example
The MyVector class with exception handling in the Sum member function.
C++ 6
The Class Declaration
class MyVector {private:
int *elem;int dim;
public:MyVector(int *e, int d);MyVector(const MyVector & v);~MyVector();void SquareVect();MyVector Sum(MyVector & v);void Display();
};
C++ 7
The Copy Constructor
MyVector::MyVector(const MyVector & v)
{dim = v.dim;elem = new int[dim];for(int i=0; i < dim; i++)
elem[i] = v.elem[i];}
C++ 8
The Sum Member Function
MyVector MyVector::Sum(MyVector & v)
{if (dim != v.dim)
throw "Different size";int* x = new int[dim];
C++ 9
The Sum Member Function
for(int i = 0; i < dim; i++)x[i] = elem[i] + v.elem[i];
MyVector t(x, dim);delete [] x;return t;
}
C++ 10
The main Function (VectX)
int main() {int x[20];int dimX;cout << "dimension of X = ";cin >> dimX;for(int i = 0; i < dimX; i++)
x[i] = 2 * i + 1;MyVector VektX(x, dimX);cout << "the X vector : "; VektX.Display();
C++ 11
VectY
int y[20];int dimY;cout << "dimension of Y = ";cin >> dimY;for(int i = 0; i < dimY; i++)
y[i] = 2 * i + 2;MyVector VektY(y, dimY);cout << "the Y vector : "; VektY.Display();
C++ 12
The try and catch Blocks
try {cout << "sum of vectors: ";VektX.Sum(VektY).Display();cout << "No error\n";
}catch(const char *s) {
cout << "Error! " << s << endl;}
}
C++ 13
Output (the same size)
dimension of X = 2the X vector : 1 3dimension of Y = 2the Y vector : 2 4sum of vectors: 3 7No error
C++ 14
Output (different size)
dimension of X = 2the X vector : 1 3dimension of Y = 3the Y vector : 2 4 6sum of vectors: Error! Different size
C++ 15
Exceptions of Different Types
We can have multiple catch blocks after a try block.
To catch everything use: catch ( ... ) compound-statement
The ... is part of the syntax. The order of the catch blocks is
important!
C++ 16
Example
#include <iostream>#include <stdlib.h>#include <time.h>using namespace std;
C++ 17
The Print_Nonzero Function
template <class T>void Print_Nonzero(T x) {
if ( x == static_cast<T>(0) )throw static_cast<T>(0);
cout << typeid(x).name() << " " << x << endl;
}
C++ 18
The main Function
int main() {
srand( (unsigned)time( NULL ) );// ...
C++ 19
The try Block
try {switch ( rand() % 5 ) { case 0:
Print_Nonzero( static_cast<long>( rand() % 2 ) ); break;
case 1: Print_Nonzero( static_cast<float>( rand() % 2 ) ); break;
C++ 20
The try Block
case 2: Print_Nonzero( static_cast<double>( rand() % 2 ) ); break;
default: Print_Nonzero( rand() % 2 ); break;
}}
C++ 21
Catch Blocks
catch( int ) {cout << "Error: zero (int)\n";
}catch( long ) {
cout << "Error: zero (long)\n";}catch( ... ) {
cout << "Error: zero (floating point)\n";}
}
C++ 22
The new Operator and the Exceptions
If there isn’t enough memory then in older versions of C++ the new
operator simply returned zero at present (C++ standard) throws a
std::bad_alloc exception, but if we don’t want to occur this, then we have to use the form new(std::nothrow).
C++ 23
Re-throwing an Exception
Use the throw;
statement in the catch block.
C++ 24
Empty Class
#include <iostream>using namespace std;
class DivisionByZero{}; // use it only
// for handling exceptions
C++ 25
The f Function
double f(double x) {if ( x == 0.0 )
throw DivisionByZero();return 1.0 / x;
}
C++ 26
The g Function
double g(char *s, double x) {double y = 0.0;cout << s;try
{ y = f(x);
}
C++ 27
The g Function
catch( DivisionByZero ) {
cout << "Error in g: ";//throw;
}return y;
}
C++ 28
The main function
int main() {double number;cout << "The number = ";cin >> number;try {cout << g("The inverse: ", number) << endl;}catch( DivisionByZero ) {cout << "Division by zero.\n";}
}
C++ 29
Output
The number = 0The inverse: Error in g: 0 But if we re-throw the exception
(uncomment throw in function g), then:
The number = 0The inverse: Error in g: Division by zero.
