An implementation of TExceptionHandler which throws all exceptions.

Method Detail

raise

void raise(TExceptionType type)
           throws TException

Throws a TException with the specified type iff the specified exception was not set to be ignored. The Virtual Machine should raise all exceptional conditions and let the handler decide wheter or not that exception should be propagated through the rest of the machine.

Parameters:

Throws:

TException

getWillThrow

Parameters:

index - The index of type (in the TExceptionType.TYPES array) in question. An invalid value will result in an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

Returns:

True iff the handler will throw exceptions of this type.
