Abstract

This paper describes the new exception handling in the ERLANG programming language, to be introduced in the forthcoming Release 10 of the Erlang/OTP system. We give a comprehensive description of the behaviour of exceptions in modern-day ERLANG, present a theoretical model of the semantics of exceptions, and use this to derive the new try-construct.
