# New Ticket Created by Jerry Gay # Please include the string: [perl #40392] # in the subject line of all future correspondence about this issue. # <URL: http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=40392 > parrot's source is littered with internal_exception() calls, the bulk (all?) of which should be converted to real_exception() calls. internal exceptions are uncatchable, and might as well be called C<exit>. that's bad, ya dig? Waay bad, and wicked hard to debug; this is an excellent cage-cleaning job. But, for the record, there are cases where internal_exception() (aka "exit") is necessary. For example, in Continuation:invoke : if (! from_ctx->control_stack) internal_exception(1, "Control stack damaged"); Since real_exception requires a working control stack, parrot has no choice but to bail -- and similarly for most places in GC, I'll bet. Anything that sniffs of corruption is probably best to leave alone, IMHO. -- Bob Rogers http://rgrjr.dyndns.org/
