Exception Specifications
[Programming Concepts]

Collaboration diagram for Exception Specifications:

Detailed Description

Whilst exception specifications in C++ can, at first glance, seem like a good idea, they're not. The problem is that, unlike Java, the exception specification is not enforced at compile time, they're just a runtime thing. If an exception that isn't in the exception specification is thrown by a function then unexpected() may (or may not if you're Visual C++) be called. As such we view exception specifications as of limited use in C++. However: we do use a 'no throw' (throw()) exception specification to indicate that a function does not throw exceptions. We rarely use a 'no throw' specification to indicate that YOU should not throw exceptions, simply because we don't trust you ;)

This section contains links to the code that implements this concept.

virtual void	OnPreOutgoingConnect (JetByteTools::Win32::IIndexedOpaqueUserData &userData, const IAddress &address, const void *pUserData)=0 throw ()
	Called just before an outgoing connection is established, i.e. a 'client' connection. The userData is the user data associated with the socket that will attempt the connection. The address is the address that the socket will attempt to connect to and the pointer to user data is whatever was passed in as user data to the Connect(), ConnectNoThrow() or AsyncConnect() call. This is usually used to slot the pointer to user data into the sockets user data store before the connection is attempted; thus passing data from the connect call site to the connection establishment or failure callback and beyond.
virtual void	OnPreOutgoingConnect (JetByteTools::Win32::IIndexedOpaqueUserData &userData, const IAddress &address, const void *pUserData)=0 throw ()
	Called just before an outgoing connection is established, i.e. a 'client' connection. The userData is the user data associated with the socket that will attempt the connection. The address is the address that the socket will attempt to connect to and the pointer to user data is whatever was passed in as user data to the Connect(), ConnectNoThrow() or AsyncConnect() call. This is usually used to slot the pointer to user data into the sockets user data store before the connection is attempted; thus passing data from the connect call site to the connection establishment or failure callback and beyond.
bool	ConnectNoThrow (const IAddress &address) throw ()
	Attempts to connect the socket to the given address. Returns false on failure.
static bool	ConnectNoThrow (SOCKET socket, const IAddress &address) throw ()
	Attempts to connect the supplied socket to the given address. Returns false on failure.
virtual int	Run ()=0 throw ()
	The return value is the exit code of the thread that is run to execute the code.

bool ConnectNoThrow	(	SOCKET	socket,
		const IAddress &	address
	)			throw () [static, inherited]

Attempts to connect the supplied socket to the given address. Returns false on failure.

bool ConnectNoThrow

(

const IAddress &

address

)

throw () [inherited]

Attempts to connect the socket to the given address. Returns false on failure.

virtual void OnPreOutgoingConnect	(	JetByteTools::Win32::IIndexedOpaqueUserData &	userData,
		const IAddress &	address,
		const void *	pUserData
	)			throw () [pure virtual, inherited]

Called just before an outgoing connection is established, i.e. a 'client' connection. The userData is the user data associated with the socket that will attempt the connection. The address is the address that the socket will attempt to connect to and the pointer to user data is whatever was passed in as user data to the Connect(), ConnectNoThrow() or AsyncConnect() call. This is usually used to slot the pointer to user data into the sockets user data store before the connection is attempted; thus passing data from the connect call site to the connection establishment or failure callback and beyond.

Implemented in CStreamSocketConnectionManagerCallback, CStreamSocketServerCallback, CStreamSocketServerExCallback, CStreamSocketConnectionManagerCallback, and CStreamSocketServerCallback.

virtual void OnPreOutgoingConnect	(	JetByteTools::Win32::IIndexedOpaqueUserData &	userData,
		const IAddress &	address,

The address is the address that the socket will attempt to connect to and the pointer to user data is whatever was passed in as user data to the Connect(), ConnectNoThrow() or AsyncConnect() call. This is usually used to slot the pointer to user data into the sockets user data store before the connection is attempted; thus passing data from the connect call site to the connection establishment or failure callback and beyond.
