Re: philosophycal issue: using exceptions
Hi Ric,
That sounds like something very interesting.
Exceptions are a decent idea to keep the bugs from
bugging you. If you are going to just "use" some
ready-made libraries, they have to support exceptions
first. If not, you`ll have to wrap them with your own
exception-throwing C++ classes.
Embed exceptions into the entire framework of your
software. It helps keeping bug-busting a saner task.
But ofcourse, it needs that you understand them (the
exceptions mechanism) first. Post more specific
details, then maybe somebody on the list can be
helpful to you.
I had a chance to work on something feebly similar to
the software you mentioned, regarding serial ports.
They were doing it in Java, and I had to write the
code using the Sun`s COMM API. Believe me, it sucked!
Your mentioning of the Serial I/O library is a relief
to me. I am going to take a look on it. Any links to
that please?
I have heard good reports about SQLite too, but dunno
any details. Though have heard about Firebird also a
lot. The databases (I guess) are under GNU GPL, so I
think you are going to keep your software under GPL
too. Like to share it with people? And one more thing,
how do you do stuff like linking with MS-Word,
MS-Excel etc?
Regards,
Shantanu
