Message: [QUOTE="Lew, post: 3605480"] Other uses of exceptions tend to be an antipattern. Use of conditional checks is usually better. This is especially true when a program emits gobs and gobs of exceptions. That is almost certainly not due to correct programming. Either there are bugs or the programmer is relying too much on exceptions instead of prevention. Still the most common reason to have exceptions is the presence of bugs. Note that I said "probably" about the presence of bugs, not "certainly". I would rate the probability as very high. [/QUOTE]
