Re: Exception / trace member

This > should be enough, right? Except if I misunderstood your answer, but getTrace() is final, so I can't overwrite it. This was in fact the idea of my original message, by putting methods final (and most of Exception are) you can't overwrite them, limiting by this fact its use. A second idea of my original message was to force Exception to be the base class of all exceptions, to allow to write generic code that catches all exceptions (to mimic "finally" clauses). There were no reactions on that, but according to our exchanges, I assume you would not do that (you're more on proposing things rather than imposing them, right?). So what about implementing a "catch(...)" or a "finally" clause? Regards, Stephane
