Method Details

catching

CodeBuilder.CatchBuilder catching(ClassDesc exceptionType, Consumer<CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder> catchHandler)

If the type of exception is null then the catch block catches all exceptions.

Parameters:

exceptionType - the type of exception to catch, may be null

catchHandler - handler that receives a CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder to generate the body of the catch block
