Detailed Description

Base class for Exception.

Exception offers to store a message string passed to the ctor. Derived classes may provide additional information. Overload dumpOn to provide a proper error text.

• Use ZYPP_THROW macros to throw exceptions.
• Use ZYPP_CAUGHT If you caught an exceptions in order to handle it.
• Use ZYPP_RETHROW to rethrow a caught exception.

The use of these macros is not mandatory. but ZYPP_THROW and ZYPP_RETHROW will adjust the code location information stored in the Exception. All three macros will drop a line in the logfile.

43   try
44     {
45       try
46         {
47           ZYPP_THROW( Exception("Something bad happened.") );
48         }
49       catch ( Exception & excpt )
50         {
51           ZYPP_RETHROW( excpt );
52         }
53
54     }
55   catch ( Exception & excpt )
56     {
57       ZYPP_CAUGHT( excpt );
58     }

The above produces the following log lines:

Main.cc(main):47 THROW:    Main.cc(main):47: Something bad happened.
Main.cc(main):51 RETHROW:  Main.cc(main):47: Something bad happened.
Main.cc(main):57 CAUGHT:   Main.cc(main):51: Something bad happened.

Class Exception now offers a history list of message strings. These messages should describe what lead to the exception.

The Exceptions message itself is NOT included in the history.

Rethrow, remembering an old exception:

try
{
  ....
}
catch( const Exception & olderr_r )
{
   ZYPP_CAUGHT( olderr_r )
   HighLevelException newerr( "Something failed." );
   newerr.rember( olderr_r );
   ZYPP_THROW( newerr );
}

Print an Exception, followed by its history, if available:

Exception error;
ERR << error << endl << error.historyAsString();

Todo

That's a draft to have a common way of throwing exceptions. Most probably, we'll finally use blocxx exceptions here, but not in the remaining code of zypp. If we can, we should try to wrap the blocxx macros and typedef the classes in here.
