An Axiomatic Treatment of Exception Handling in an Expression-Oriented Language
Abstract
An axiomatic semantic definition is given of the replacement model of exception handling in an expression-oriented language. These semantics require only two new proof rules for the most general case. An example is given of a program fragment using this model of exception handling, and these rules are used to verify the consistency of the fragment and its specification. © 1987, ACM.
