Idea from problem someone else is having in the script forum but here is a feature suggestion for a new LSL event:

error(integer e)

e is predefined errors, and here are some that I can think of off the top of my head:

ERROR_SIM_FULL
ERROR_NO_MONEY (when something tries to rez or pay and owner doesn't have enough money)
ERROR_NO_PERM_DEBIT
ERROR_NO_PERM_ANIM
ERROR_NO_PERM_* (all the other permissions)
ERROR_BEYOND_RANGE (when try to rez or move or something beyond the range limits)

Also I think that if, and only if, this event is defined in a script then no error message should be reported on channel 0.

Also

ERROR_STACK_HEAP
ERROR_CHAT_OVERRUN
ERROR_GEN_RUNTIME

EDIT: Btw, I second it ;)

EDIT #2: Gah! I didnt see that ERROR_PERMISSIONS in your post. (deleted "ERROR_NO_PERMISSION" from post.)

Somehow I don't think any error which will cause the script to stop running is going to be able to be captured by that script :p

But I do like the idea.

::sigh:: A way to get over stack-heaps are one of the things I most want... eiather that or both a way to read a notecard without the dataserver (in script) and a way to write to notecards.

Actually I think it is theoretically possible to predict when the stack overflow will happen - the system knows how much memory it has and how much is being taken up. Maybe instead an ERROR_ALMOST_STACK_OVERFLOW error when you get really close?

I don't think run-times are nearly as "easy" though. ;)

Ninthed. Exception handling is something you can do without for a while but eventually it becomes a drag.

I'm all for error handling.

Not that I write bad scripts.. (pushes the scripts under the desk) Let's just call it learning through experimentation.

I'll ... umm ... *counts* ... 11thed? Oh, WTH. Endorsed.

Anywho, I'd much rather see try{}catch{}finally{} blocks, but ANYTHING is better than what we have now.

Or a VB6-style compromise. :D ON ERROR JUMP label, with an integer llGetLastError() function

Try/catch/finally... *drool*.

Id settle for this as well.

Or a way to do a fast,non-delayed write to a file. Could be a notecard or could be a file on the server called 134regersgerg.tmp or <guid>.log . As long as it's fast, non-delayed and we can read the file later, somehow, it fits the bill.

I endorse this.

I too, support this idea. I have to admit that the suggested try/catch/finally approach would be the method of choice for me, but as stated, any error handling would be welceom. I would like to say though, while the ability to write out to a file/notecard/etc would be a great addition, I think error handling should be considered a separate feature from the true file I/O that we would like to see as well.

Anyone heard anything about whether something like this is in the works for some soon release? I was rather hoping for it in 1.5... but so much for that.
