No thanks.No thanks.Posted Nov 9, 2012 10:29 UTC (Fri) by paulj (subscriber, #341)In reply to: No thanks. by hummassa Parent article: Haley: We're doing an ARM64 OpenJDK port!
So the control-flow branch points which you disagree exist have to be dealt with anyway? So they don't exist but they do.
There are other ways to deal with errors, besides exceptions or error return codes. You can design the underlying, called-into code to explicitly follow a state machine, and have idempotent error state. Calling code then do a number of operations on such objects, and check at the end whether they succeeded or not, and if not, query the reason for the error.

Did you even read what he wrote? He didn't say they don't exist, he said that they exist regardless of whether you use exceptions or error codes to handle errors.
