Can asynchronous exceptions expire
Benjamin Morandi, Sebastian Nanz, Bertrand Meyer · 2012
Abstract—A multitude of asynchronous exception mechanisms have been proposed. They specify where and when an asynchronous exception propagates. We highlight another aspect that has largely been overlooked: can an asynchronous exception expire? We discuss scenarios where it is meaningful for an asynchronous exception to expire. We further elaborate on one of the scenarios, thereby outlining an asynchronous exception mechanism for the SCOOP concurrency model. Keywords-asynchronous exception; concurrent programming; SCOOP I.
