[macker-user] Catching exceptions

[Doron R. <do...@ra...>]

I want to prevent everyone from catching AssertionError.

 

The problem is, that each:

            assert a > b;

Is actually:

            If (!(a>b))

                throw new AssertionError();

So, everyone uses AssertionError.

 

Thus, my question is: can you add a filter that will match only "catch"
usage, and nothing else?  I do not care if they throw it, create it,
take it, copy it, store it in variables, and so. I just do not want
anyone to catch Errors / Throwables and so.

 

Thanks,

  Doron.

The behavior you want is called "filtering by reference type", and will=20=

be implemented in either version 0.5 or version 0.6.
