From 7d6cbf290a5e0cbce14b9926f57221a017f20a4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jacek Sieka Date: Tue, 28 Apr 2020 19:56:01 +0200 Subject: Error -> Defect for defects (#13908) * Error -> Defect for defects The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective, context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding definition and digging through layers of inheritance. With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set a good example here. --- doc/tut3.rst | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'doc/tut3.rst') diff --git a/doc/tut3.rst b/doc/tut3.rst index 2feae1f7d..a39074db9 100644 --- a/doc/tut3.rst +++ b/doc/tut3.rst @@ -271,7 +271,7 @@ written. result = quote do: if not `arg`: - raise newException(AssertionError,$`lhs` & `op` & $`rhs`) + raise newException(AssertionDefect,$`lhs` & `op` & $`rhs`) let a = 1 let b = 2 @@ -287,7 +287,7 @@ used to get this output. .. code-block:: nim if not (a != b): - raise newException(AssertionError, $a & " != " & $b) + raise newException(AssertionDefect, $a & " != " & $b) With Power Comes Responsibility ------------------------------- -- cgit 1.4.1-2-gfad0
