| <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> wraps the core language <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>catch</strong></span></span> | |
| command adding some extra error handling needed by mod_rivet design. | |
| The rationale for Rivet to have its own <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> reads | |
| as follows: within mod_rivet a script execution can be interrupted by either calling | |
| <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::exit</strong></span></span>(deprecated) or <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::abort_page</strong></span></span>. | |
| These commands implement a simple internal exception mechanism by | |
| returning a special error code so that execution is in turn handed down to the | |
| <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>AbortScript</strong></span></span> and eventually to <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>AfterEveryScript</strong></span></span> | |
| (if any of them is defined). Any code calling one of these commands which runs under | |
| control of the <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::catch</strong></span></span> command would need to do this chore itself, | |
| checking the error info and in case throw the error again if it had been originated | |
| by one of mod_rivet's exceptions calls. This is what <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> | |
| does hiding the implementation details provide a better and more compatibile way to | |
| handle this condition. | |
