Here's a new test case for t/pmc/sub.t
######## output_is(<<'CODE', <<'OUTPUT', "set_eh - throw - clear_eh"); print "start\n" newsub P20, .Exception_Handler, _handler set_eh P20 new P30, .Exception throw P30 print "not reached\n" end _handler: clear_eh print "caught it\n" end CODE start caught it OUTPUT ######### If I run this code from the perl test harness or from my python test suite, it actually kills perl/python, leaving nothing but the message "Quit". If I run the code directly from parrot, I get: ######################## static Parrot VM: PANIC: Tried to clear_eh a non Exception_Handler! C file exceptions.c, line 143 Parrot file (unknown file), line 0 We highly suggest you notify the Parrot team if you have not been working on Parrot. Use bugs6.perl.org or send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Include the entire text of this error message and the text of the script that generated the error. If you've made any modifications to Parrot, please describe them as well. Version : 0.0.10-devel Configured : Sun Aug 10 16:34:12 2003 Architecture: i386-linux JIT Capable : Yes Interp Flags: 0x40 Exceptions : (missing from core) Dumping Core... Quit ####################### I don't know if my test is right or not, but I'm expecting the exception handler to still be around after the exception is caught. I don't care if it goes away after the exception is caught, but I need a way to clear the exception handler after I get out of the try/except or try/finally block... Otherwise later exceptions will bring me backward in the code. :/ Sincerely, Michal J Wallace Sabren Enterprises, Inc. ------------------------------------- contact: [EMAIL PROTECTED] hosting: http://www.cornerhost.com/ my site: http://www.withoutane.com/ --------------------------------------
