/* 'objc_exception_throw' throws the exception 'exception', which is
an exception object.
Calls to 'objc_exception_throw' are automatically generated by the
compiler: an Objective-C "@throw exception;" statement gets
compiled into the equivalent of "objc_exception_throw
(exception);".
'objc_exception_throw' searches for a @catch() that can catch the
exception. By default, @catch (MyClass object) will catch all
exception objects that are of class MyClass or of a subclass of
MyClass; if the exception object is 'nil', then the exception can
only be caught with a catch-all exception handler where no
exception class is specified (such as @catch(id object)). This
behaviour can be customized by setting an 'objc_exception_matcher'
function (using objc_set_exception_matcher(), see below); if one is
set, it is used instead of the default one.
If the exception is uncaught (there is no @catch() to catch it),
the program aborts. It is possible to customize this behaviour by
setting an 'objc_uncaught_exception_handler' function (using
objc_set_uncaught_exception_handler(), see below); if one is set,
it is executed before abort() is called. An uncaught exception
handler is expected to never return. */

/* Compatibility note: the Apple/NeXT runtime seems to also have
objc_exception_rethrow(), objc_begin_catch() and objc_end_catch().
Currently the GNU runtime does not use them. */
/* The following functions allow customizing to a certain extent the
exception handling. They are not thread safe and should be called
during the program initialization before threads are started. They
are mostly reserved for "Foundation" libraries; in the case of
GNUstep, GNUstep Base may be using these functions to improve the
standard exception handling. You probably shouldn't use these
functions unless you are writing your own Foundation library. */
/* Compatibility note: objc_set_exception_preprocessor() (available on
the Apple/NeXT runtime) is not available on the GNU runtime. */
/* An 'objc_exception_matcher' function is used to match an exception
to a @catch clause. 'catch_class' is the class of objects caught
by the @catch clause (for example, in "@catch (Object *o)", the
catch_class is Object). It should return 1 if the exception should
be caught by a @catch with a catch_class argument, and 0 if
not. */
