digitalmars.D - Usage of Exceptions in std.xml

reply "Rene Zwanenburg" <renezwanenburg gmail.com> writes:
I'm not sure, but it appears that std.xml uses exceptions for 
control flow. I use VisualD for development, and Visual Studio 
has been configured to break on exceptions. This means that every 
time a new DocumentParser is created with valid XML, the debugger 
explodes because of the thrown exceptions.

Am I doing something wrong, or shall I create a change request?

The std.xml module will be getting replaced. So I can't really 
recommend making a change request, if this is the case.

Possible alternative:

 Thanks. I've been trying to get D2-XML to compile for a few hours now 
 without much luck, so that one is out. Does anyone know another good 
 replacement?



The one in Tango is supposed to be pretty good (and *very* fast). Since 
Tango now works on D2 side-by-side with Phobos, that may be an option.


 Also, why replace std.xml? As far as I can tell it works fine, except for 
 the thrown exceptions.



A lot of people have had a lot of probelms with it (though I've never tried 
it myself).

 Tango doesn't work with the latest DMD. Thanks for the suggestion
 though, I think I'll take another look at it if it gets updated.

 For now I'll keep using std.xml. The application only reads xml files
 during initialization, so it's mostly a convenience issue.



I just cloned the repoistory and it, at least, compiles with DMD 2.059.

I had to do a quick-and-dirty tool in a limited time frame and using 
kxml was much easier than std.xml.

For performance reasons.
