  27. /* 'objc_exception_throw' throws the exception 'exception', which is
  28. an exception object.
  29. Calls to 'objc_exception_throw' are automatically generated by the
  30. compiler: an Objective-C "@throw exception;" statement gets
  31. compiled into the equivalent of "objc_exception_throw
  32. (exception);".
  33. 'objc_exception_throw' searches for a @catch() that can catch the
  34. exception. By default, @catch (MyClass object) will catch all
  35. exception objects that are of class MyClass or of a subclass of
  36. MyClass; if the exception object is 'nil', then the exception can
  37. only be caught with a catch-all exception handler where no
  38. exception class is specified (such as @catch(id object)). This
  39. behaviour can be customized by setting an 'objc_exception_matcher'
  40. function (using objc_set_exception_matcher(), see below); if one is
  41. set, it is used instead of the default one.
  42. If the exception is uncaught (there is no @catch() to catch it),
  43. the program aborts. It is possible to customize this behaviour by
  44. setting an 'objc_uncaught_exception_handler' function (using
  45. objc_set_uncaught_exception_handler(), see below); if one is set,
  46. it is executed before abort() is called. An uncaught exception
  47. handler is expected to never return. */
