11.1 Exception Declarations

(1)

An exception_declaration declares a name for an exception.

Syntax

(2)
       exception_declaration ::= defining_identifier_list : exception;

Static Semantics

(3)

Each single exception_declaration declares a name for a different exception. If a generic unit includes an exception_declaration, the exception_declarations implicitly generated by different instantiations of the generic unit refer to distinct exceptions (but all have the same defining_identifier). The particular exception denoted by an exception name is determined at compilation time and is the same regardless of how many times the exception_declaration is elaborated.

(4)

The predefined exceptions are the ones declared in the declaration of package Standard: Constraint_Error, Program_Error, Storage_Error, and Tasking_Error; one of them is raised when a language-defined check fails.

Dynamic Semantics

(5)

The elaboration of an exception_declaration has no effect.

(6)

The execution of any construct raises Storage_Error if there is insufficient storage for that execution. The amount of storage needed for the execution of constructs is unspecified.

Examples

(7)

Examples of user-defined exception declarations:

(8)
       Singular : exception;
       Error    : exception;
       Overflow, Underflow : exception;
