Name
  vmerr.h - VM exception handling
Function
  Defines error macros for try/throw exception handling.

  To throw an exception, use err_throw(exception_object), where the
  exception_object is an object describing the exception.  This object
  must be allocated with 'new'.  Control will immediately transfer to
  the nearest enclosing err_catch() block.

  Protected code is defined as shown below.  The blocks must occur
  in the order shown, but the err_catch and err_finally blocks are
  optional (although it would be pointless to have an err_try that
  omits both).

    err_try
    {
        // protected code
    }
    err_catch(exception_variable) // or just err_catch_disc
    {
        // Exception handler - this code is executed only if an
        // exception occurs in the protected block.
        //
        // If an exception is thrown here (with no nested exception
        // handler to catch it), the err_finally block will be executed
        // and then the exception will be thrown to the enclosing block.
    }
    err_finally
    {
        // Code that is executed regardless whether exception occurs
        // or not.  If no exception occurs, this code is executed as
        // soon as the protected block finishes.  If an exception
        // occurs, this code is executed, then the exception is
        // re-thrown.
        //
        // If an exception is thrown here, the finally block will
        // be aborted and the enclosing error handler will be activated.
        // Care should be taken to ensure that code within this block
        // is properly protected against exceptions if necessary.
    }
    err_end;

  err_catch automatically defines the given exception_variable as
  a local variable of type (CVmException *) in the scope of the
  err_catch block.  The referenced CVmException object is valid
  *only* within the err_catch block; after the err_catch block exits,
  the CVmException object will no longer be present.

  If you don't need to access the CVmException information, use
  err_catch_disc instead of err_catch - this has the same effect as
  err_catch, but does not declare a local variable to point to the
  exception object.

  To re-throw the exception being handled from an err_catch() block,
  use err_rethrow().

  IMPORTANT: control must NOT be transferred out of an err_try, err_catch,
  or err_finally block via break, goto, or return.  Actual execution of
  the err_end is required in order to properly unwind the error stack.
  The easiest way to leave one of these blocks prematurely, if necessary,
  is with a goto:

     err_try
     {
        // some code

        if (done_with_this_block)
            goto done;

        // more code

     done: ;
     }
     err_catch_disc
     {
         // etc...
     }
     err_end;

/*
 *   err_throw() Return Handling
 *   
 *   Some compilers (such as MSVC 2007) are capable of doing global
 *   optimizations that can detect functions that never return.  err_throw()
 *   is one such function: it uses longjmp() to jump out, so it never returns
 *   to its caller.
 *   
 *   Most compilers can't detect this automatically, and C++ doesn't have a
 *   standard way to declare a function that never returns.  So on most
 *   compilers, the compiler will assume that err_throw() returns, and thus
 *   will generate a warning if err_throw() isn't followed by some proper
 *   control flow statement.  For example, in a function with a return value,
 *   a code branch containing an err_throw() would still need a 'return
 *   <val>' statement - without such a statement, the compiler would generate
 *   an error about a branch without a value return.
 *   
 *   This creates a porting dilemma.  On compilers that can detect that
 *   err_throw() never returns, the presence of any statement in a code
 *   branch after an err_throw() will cause an "unreachable code" error.  For
 *   all other compilers, the *absence* of such code will often cause a
 *   different error ("missing return", etc).
 *   
 *   The only way I can see to deal with this is to use a compile-time
 *   #define to select which type of compiler we're using, and use this to
 *   insert or delete the proper dummy control flow statement after an
 *   err_throw().  So:
 *   
 *   --- INSTRUCTIONS TO BASE CODE DEVELOPERS ---
 *   
 *   - after each err_throw() call, if the code branch needs some kind of
 *   explicit termination (such as a "return val;" statement), code it with
 *   the AFTER_ERR_THROW() macro.  Since err_throw() never *actually*
 *   returns, these will be dummy statements that will never be reached, but
 *   the compiler might require their presence anyway because it doesn't know
 *   better.
 *   
 *   --- INSTRUCTIONS TO PORTERS ---
 *   
 *   - if your compiler CAN detect that err_throw() never returns, define
 *   COMPILER_DETECTS_THROW_NORETURN in your compiler command-line options;
 *   
 *   - otherwise, leave the symbol undefined.
