exception handling in dwgdirect
exception handling in dwgdirect
hi,
i implemented my own odstreambuf-derived class for i/o operations.
the methods of this class are called by dwgdirect library while performing i/o operations.
if any of my functions fail due to some reason, how should i indicate the error to dwgdirect. there is no way of returning an error in any of the odstreambuf functions ( viz. getbyte(), putbyte(oduint8 val) etc..)..
if i "throw" from these functions then the program does not "land-up" in my own catch statement. instead dwgdirect causes an "illegal exception" and the program crashes.
please advice on how to indicate i/o errors to dwgdirect so that dwgdirect stops performing further i/o operations and just throws an oderror exception(which my program already catches and thus can gracefully exit).
thanks
alex

i would appreciate if someone provides some pointers for this.

of course you should thow exception, as it is done e.g. in odbasefilebuf::getbyte()
what compiler do you use?
where illegal exception is happening when you throw exception from your stream buffer?
