Error Handling in C, try() catch()

[Rustyk1]

My problems:

1. I know no C or C++

2. My colleague is abroad with no internet

3. He is trying to do some error handling using try() and catch(). However, the C compiler says that it doesn't understand the function try(). Does he need to put something in include or something?

Thank you so much in advance if you can help.

Cheers

I maybe wrong but c doesn't support try and catch, only c++ does ?

[Smegma]

the syntax is

try
{
// do something that might cause an exception
}

catch(...)
{
// catch any exception that was thrown
}


But Try, catch is only in c++ although i believe most big (VC++, BCB) will compile it if it's in a c source file.

Also get him to check that his file extension is .CPP and not .C

And fyi some C variants do support exception handling, for example MS call it "Structured Exception Handling".
