Languages with checked exceptions usually use them for two purposes:
1. Exceptional conditions - disk full, CPU on fire, etc. 2. Error handling - invalid arguments to a function, attempt to invert non-invertible matrix, etc.
Is there any good rule someone can use to decide whether it is error or exception? For me, this is the most important thing, because IMHO you (as library writer) often can't say what is it, it's up to client of your code to decide.
Henning T., FYI your constant advocacy has gotten at least one person around to this view.
Can you please provide me some links about error/exception separation? Gregory
