Has the conditional catch clause
ever been considered for adoption in the standard? I've stumbled upon them
while seeking if there was a better option than the classic "if instanceof
/ else throw" inside the catch block, and it seems like a really nice
syntaxic sugar.
I guess that there might be some issues if the "if" expression itself
throws, but that doesn't seem a huge problem (and I guess that the folks at
Mozilla have already thought about this?).
However, it is quite old (two years) and a major part of the discussion
seems to have shifted to StopIterator - which doesn't exist anymore, right ?
Hi,
Has the conditional catch clause

ever been considered for adoption in the standard? I've stumbled upon them

/ else throw" inside the catch block, and it seems like a really nice
syntaxic sugar.
I guess that there might be some issues if the "if" expression itself

Is been discussed here several times and it boils down to wanting a
generalized pattern matching facility. See Brendan's comment somewhere in
that thread.
