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: https://code.launchpad.net/d2-xml

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

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.

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. https://github.com/SiegeLord/Tango-D2 -- /Jacob Carlborg

I had to do a quick-and-dirty tool in a limited time frame and using kxml was much easier than std.xml. http://opticron.no-ip.org/svn/branches/kxml/

For performance reasons.
