tB could definitely use some basic exception handling. Look at the disassembly of a minimal C try/except block, this seems extremely impractical to do via user code as it needs entries in the PE header directory for exceptions.
But based on how it appears, and correct me if I'm wrong, there's no reason the user code couldn't use very familiar syntax right at home on BASIC...
On Exception GoTo label
There's no compatibility issues as that's never permissible VBx syntax.
Basically what I'm looking to do is protect against things like bad pointers passed by outside callers as in C
__try {
...
} __except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER) {
...
}Iirc there are plans to offer more robust error handling with try... But from a syntax view that's major change in both implementation and program structure. This could provide something right at home in the language with an easier back end implementation. Still presumably post 1.0 unless it's dead simple, but hopefully that's on the horizon now.
