Tcl_AllowExceptions C API

Allow all exceptions in next script evaluation

literal type exactly as shown argument replace with your value ?optional? may be omitted

Synopsis#

#include <tcl.h>

Tcl_AllowExceptions(interp)#

Arguments#

Tcl_Interp *interp (in)

Interpreter in which script will be evaluated.

Description#

If a script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script terminates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR or TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR return with an appropriate message. The particular script evaluation procedures of Tcl that act in the manner are Tcl_EvalObjEx, Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_GlobalEval, Tcl_GlobalEvalObj and Tcl_VarEval.

However, if Tcl_AllowExceptions is invoked immediately before calling one of those a procedures, then arbitrary completion codes are permitted from the script, and they are returned without modification. This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with exceptions such as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.
