Interface CodeBuilder.CatchBuilder

Enclosing interface:: CodeBuilder

public static sealed interface CodeBuilder.CatchBuilder

A builder to add catch blocks.

The order of catch blocks is significant. When an exception is thrown by the try block, the first catch block whose exception type is the same class as or a superclass of the class of exception thrown is branched to (JVMS Â§2.10).

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`CodeBuilder.CatchBuilder`	`catching(ClassDesc exceptionType, Consumer<CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder> catchHandler)`	Adds a catch block that catches an exception of the given type.

Method Details

catching

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

Adds a catch block that catches an exception of the given type.

The caught exception will be on top of the operand stack when the catch block is entered.

The CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder.breakLabel() for the catch block corresponds to the break label of the tryHandler block in CodeBuilder.trying(Consumer, Consumer).

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

API Note:

If the type of exception to catch is already handled by previous catch blocks, this block will never be executed.

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

Returns:

this builder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if exceptionType represents a primitive type

See Also:

catchingMulti

CodeBuilder.CatchBuilder catchingMulti(List<ClassDesc> exceptionTypes, Consumer<CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder> catchHandler)

Adds a catch block that catches exceptions of the given types.

The caught exception will be on top of the operand stack when the catch block is entered.

The CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder.breakLabel() for the catch block corresponds to the break label of the tryHandler block in CodeBuilder.trying(Consumer, Consumer).

If list of exception types is empty then the catch block catches all exceptions.

API Note:

If every type of exception to catch is already handled by previous catch blocks, this block will never be executed.

Parameters:

exceptionTypes - the types of exception to catch

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

Returns:

this builder

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if any exception type represents a primitive type

See Also:

catchingAll

void catchingAll(Consumer<CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder> catchAllHandler)

Adds a "catch" block that catches all exceptions.

The CodeBuilder.BlockCodeBuilder.breakLabel() for the catch block corresponds to the break label of the tryHandler block in CodeBuilder.trying(Consumer, Consumer).

The caught exception will be on top of the operand stack when the catch block is entered.

API Note:

Since this block intercepts all exceptions, all subsequent catch blocks will never be executed.

Parameters:

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