Objective-C使用@try @catch @finally来捕获并处理异常。处理异常需要用到NSException类,它是所有异常的基类。你可以直接使用NSException类来捕获异常,也可以继承一个新的类。
Objective-C是C语言的扩充,它的异常处理机制是通过C标准库提供两个特殊的函数setjmp()和longjmp()函数实现的。如果对C的异常处理机制和setjmp、longjmp函数不了解的,建议先阅读:C语言异常处理机制。
先来看看下面的例子:
复制代码
import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
@autoreleasepool
{
@try {
NSException *e = [NSException
exceptionWithName:@"FileNotFoundException"
reason:@"File Not Found on System"
userInfo:nil];
@throw e;
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
if ([[exception name] isEqualToString:NSInvalidArgumentException]) {
NSLog(@"%@", exception);
} else {
@throw exception;
}
}
@finally {
NSLog(@"finally");
}
}
return 0;
}
复制代码
例子很简单,在@try中抛出一个自定义的FileNotFoundException类型的异常,然后在@catch中判断捕获的异常是不是NSInvalidArgumentException类型,如果不是,将异常再次抛出。最后总是会执行@finally语句,一般异常处理的善后工作都放这里来做。
如何才能了解它内部的工作流程,@try @catch @finally的定义无法查看。幸运的是我们可以通过Clang生成C的中间代码来了解try/catch原理。想了解Clang推荐阅读:编译器Clang介绍。
以上面的代码为例,使用文本编辑器将代码保存到main.m文件中,文件名可随便定义。打开终端输入:clang -rewrite-objc main.m 命令编译。
得到一份main.cpp文件:
