Plenty of places in the system quash exceptions. The menu manager is notorious for this. So if the exception happened as a result of some code that was called by a menu action, for example, the menu manager will catch and discard the exception. It will log the exception backtrace to the console, along with a message about having ignored the exception. This is a big part of why exceptions are not useful for flow control in Cocoa. --Kyle Sluder_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
