asked on

catching Exceptions

Hello
I’m not very familiar with writing object oriented programs so my
questions may be stupid. My job is to write a program This program reads
the date in the German date format (day, month, year). The Program
should use a class Datum (see code Datum.h). This class gots a
constructor with the day, month and year as the constructors arguments.
In this constructor i check wether the date is valid. If the date is not
valid the constructor should throw an exception from the type Datum (see
in the code). The catching object should be an instance of another class
Falsches_Datum. The code i have written up to now does not catch the
thrown exception object. I think the problem is that the thrown object
has arguments and the catching object has no arguments. Am i right or
how is it possible to catch the exception with changes in the header
files but no changes in the cpp File.
Thank you Thorsten

You are expecting to catch a Falsches_Datum (false data?) type in the line

catch(Falsches_Datum fd)

but in the constructor, you throw a Datum type,  not a Falsches_Datum type in

if (korrekt()==0) throw Datum(tag,monat,jahr);

change this line to

if (korrekt()==0) throw Falshes_Datum(tag,monat,jahr);

and you should be okay.  Let me know if you have any questions.
Catching by reference (rather than by value) is preferred.
True, not that its the problem, through.  To catch by reference you would do

catch(Falsches_Datum &fd)

This is more efficient than catching by value and also works better when you are catching objects that are derived from a base class that you catch with.

You are right.
But one problem left. If i throw the Exception from the type Falsches_Datum in the constructor of Datum the class Falsches_Datum is not known in the class Datum. I solve this problem using the friend statement. Are there any other possibilities to get access to the constructor of Falsches_datum out of the class Datum
Thanks  
From what I see at the moment, I don't see any reason why Falsches_Datum needs to be a friend of Datum.  It looks to me like you just need to declare Falsches_Datum before Datum and then you should be fine.  (i.e Falsches_Datum doesn't depend on Datum, so declare it first..)
