Detailed Description

As in Java, the Exception class and its derived classes signal error conditions that a reasonable program should catch and deal with. If a function may throw an object derived from the Exception class, this should be specified in the documentation of that function.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

jem::Exception::Exception ( const String &  place = String(), const String &  msg = String()  )

explicit

Constructs an Exception given a context and message string.

Parameters

place	- a string describing where this exception was thrown.
msg	- a string decribing why this exception was thrown.

Member Function Documentation

virtual String jem::Exception::name ( ) const

virtual

Returns the full class name – including namespaces – of this Throwable instance. This function should be overriden by derived classes. For instance, a class named flip::FlopException should return the string "flip::FlopException".

Returns

A string describing the class name of this object.
