SObjectizer v.5.5.24.3 Released!

[Yauheni Akhotnikau]

Exception-related restrictions are somewhat relaxed in v.5.5.24.3.

Until v.5.5.24.3 SObjectizer expected only exceptions which are derived from std::exception class. That means that if an user write an event-handler in the form:

void some_agent::on_some_message(mhood_t<msg> cmd) {

  if(!is_valid(*cmd))

    throw "Invalid message";

  ...

}

such event-handler will crash the whole application.

Since v.5.5.24.3 SObjectizer uses "catch(...)" handler for exceptions which are thrown from:

• init-function passed to so_5::launch() or to the constructor of so_5::wrapped_env_t;
• so_5::agent_t::so_evt_start() method;
• so_5::agent_t::so_evt_finish() method;
• an event-handlers for ordinary messages.

Please note that there are some places where only exceptions derived from std::exception class can be thrown:

• custom mbox implementations;
• custom dispatcher;
• coop's registration and deregistration handlers (please note that throwing an exception from those handlers could be prohibited in v.5.6);
• and other places where an user provides some code for customization of SObjectizer logic.
