Somewhere in my program after it has trued and failed to read the
input file, I have the code
Wr.PutText(Stdio.stderr, "No input file.\n");
Now presumably this message could be more detailed, but that's not waht
I'm asking. What happens to me when I compile this code is the warning:
"../src/Main.m3", line 63: warning: potentially unhandled exceptions:
Thread.Alerted, Wr.Failure
Now presumably this is an indication that I ought to wrap the whole
thing in a TRY clause. But what am I supposed to do if the attempt to
produce an error message fails? Write an error message?
What have other people done in this situation?
