Next: No_Exception_Propagation, Previous: No_Enumeration_Maps, Up: Partition-Wide Restrictions [Contents][Index]
[GNAT] This restriction ensures at compile time that there are no explicit exception handlers. It also indicates that no exception propagation will be provided. In this mode, exceptions may be raised but will result in an immediate call to the last chance handler, a routine that the user must define with the following profile:
procedure Last_Chance_Handler (Source_Location : System.Address; Line : Integer); pragma Export (C, Last_Chance_Handler, "__gnat_last_chance_handler");
The parameter is a C null-terminated string representing a message to be associated with the exception (typically the source location of the raise statement generated by the compiler). The Line parameter when nonzero represents the line number in the source program where the raise occurs.
