Re: Continued try blocks

Why not. But it will come in addition to "resume", not instead of it. Then: - "resume" => continue execution just after the point where the exception was raised. - "restart" => restart the whole try block. I don't understand the meaning of your "rollback". 2013/4/29 Camilo Sperberg <unreal4u@gmail.com> > > On Apr 28, 2013, at 17:27, Julien Pauli <jpauli@php.net> wrote: > > > On Sat, Apr 27, 2013 at 3:56 PM, Amaury Bouchard <amaury@amaury.net> > wrote: > > > >> 2013/4/27 Ferenc Kovacs <tyra3l@gmail.com> > >> > >>> please don't reuse the continue keyword for it. > >>> > >>> There are a bunch of code out there where which uses exceptions in a > loop > >>> context. > >>> For example you have a retry counter decremented in a loop and you > catch > >>> the exceptions and retry until the retry limit is reached. > >>> > >> Fair enough.
