My 2 pennies:
What about adding a code attribute like [IgnoreException] ? that would perform better than trycatching
It seems the most logical option to me. Vala is a language that allows ignoring exceptions, and (as far as I remember, it was a while ago when I was writing my vala code) it generates code printing warning about uncaught exception each time the exception is thrown, but not caught. I guess that we should have two solutions (not one or the other, but both implemented): - command line switch like -Wno-exceptions - it would disable all warnings about uncaught exceptions at the compile time, and in the non-debug builds it would also cause not generating code for printing exception information if the exception is thrown; - and some code attribute, that could be used in code, if the author is 100% sure that in this particular case exception will never be thrown, or that it can be ignored (compile and run time behaviour the same as above). Both these features have the advantage that no syntax changes in the language are needed. best regards,
