  • Message based exception handler
    Patent number: 5761407
    Abstract: The solution employed by the present invention keeps information about individual exception instances in data structures which are independent of the local storage of the system-level exception management routines. This eliminates confusion and ambiguity because the entire exception handling mechanism can be described and specified in terms of the manipulation of these data structures, independent of the call/return flow of the system-level exception management routines.
