Is is possible to check to see whether an attribute exists on a given object, or at least catch an exception if it doesn't? I've tried to set up an exception handler, but Parrot exits without anything being caught.
A code snippet follows:
.sub _main .local pmc class .local int type .local pmc foo .local pmc val
# The Foo class only has a "bar" attribute. newclass class, "Foo" addattribute class, "bar"
# Create a Foo object find_type type, "Foo" new foo, type
push_eh EXCEPTION
# Try to access the invalid "baz" attribute. getattribute val, foo, "baz"
end
EXCEPTION: print "* caught an exception!\n" end .end
