NO, this is misguided. Exceptions are meant to indicate a PROGRAMMER error, not a routine runtime situation (clue, they are called exceptions, and so indicate truly exceptional circumstances, not just an edge case you couldn't be bothered to check for). They are expensive, and should not be used for flow control, especially as there is a very simple way to avoid them in this case. If you can avoid using exceptions, always do so. --Graham _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
