[Openroad-users] OpenROAD runtime error handling

[Antill, Jim]

Robert,

A rather round-about way of doing it would be as follows:

One thing I did a while back was to write a C# routine to monitor a file,
effectively doing the equivalent of a UNIX tail -f on the file. This worked,
if I remember correctly, by an event being triggered when the file was
changed. In fact I used it to redirect the w4gl.log file to a window that
stayed on top. (If you want the code I've probably got it lying around
somewhere.)

This could be changed so that when a change to the file is detected the new
segment is checked for E_ chars. If any are found an external event could be
sent back to the OpenROAD application to say that an error was received.

I must admit to liking Java's try-catch error handling, something that would
suit some parts of OpenROAD e.g DynamicExpressionNotValidException rather
than checking for NULL dynexpr.

Hope that's of some interest.

Regards,
Jim

Is there a good way to trap run time errors - which seem to only appear
in the w4gl log and trace window - so the user can see that something
has gone wrong without having to look at the trace window? I was
thinking of a setting like DBMSErrorPrinting .
