我为我的应用程序不期望的每个条件创建了异常。UserNameNotValidException, PasswordNotCorrectException等。

然而,我被告知我不应该为这些条件创造例外。在我的UML中,那些是主要流程的异常,那么为什么它不应该是异常呢?

是否有创建异常的指导或最佳实践?

You may use a little bit generic exceptions for that conditions. For e.g. ArgumentException is meant to be used when anything goes wrong with the parameters to a method (with the exception of ArgumentNullException). Generally you would not need exceptions like LessThanZeroException, NotPrimeNumberException etc. Think of the user of your method. The number of the conditions that she will want to handle specifically is equal to the number of the type of the exceptions that your method needs to throw. This way, you can determine how detailed exceptions you will have.

顺便说一下,总是尝试为库的用户提供一些避免异常的方法。TryParse就是一个很好的例子,它的存在使你不必使用int。解析并捕获异常。在您的情况下,您可能希望提供一些方法来检查用户名是否有效或密码是否正确,这样您的用户(或您)就不必进行大量异常处理。这将有望产生更易于阅读的代码和更好的性能。

一般来说,你想要为应用程序中可能发生的任何异常抛出一个"异常"

在您的示例中,这两个异常看起来都是通过密码/用户名验证调用的。在这种情况下,有人会输入错误的用户名/密码并不是什么例外。

它们是UML主要流程的“例外”,但在处理过程中是更多的“分支”。

如果您试图访问您的passwd文件或数据库,但无法访问,这将是一个异常情况,并需要抛出异常。

我认为只有在无法摆脱当前状态时才应该抛出异常。例如,如果您正在分配内存,但没有任何内存可以分配。在您提到的情况下,您可以清楚地从这些状态中恢复,并相应地将错误代码返回给调用者。


You will see plenty of advice, including in answers to this question, that you should throw exceptions only in "exceptional" circumstances. That seems superficially reasonable, but is flawed advice, because it replaces one question ("when should I throw an exception") with another subjective question ("what is exceptional"). Instead, follow the advice of Herb Sutter (for C++, available in the Dr Dobbs article When and How to Use Exceptions, and also in his book with Andrei Alexandrescu, C++ Coding Standards): throw an exception if, and only if

没有满足先决条件(通常会出现以下情况之一 不可能的)或 替代方案将无法满足后置条件或 替代方案将无法保持不变式。

为什么这样更好呢?它不是用几个关于前置条件,后置条件和不变量的问题代替了这个问题吗?这是更好的几个相关的原因。

Preconditions, postconditions and invariants are design characteristics of our program (its internal API), whereas the decision to throw is an implementation detail. It forces us to bear in mind that we must consider the design and its implementation separately, and our job while implementing a method is to produce something that satisfies the design constraints. It forces us to think in terms of preconditions, postconditions and invariants, which are the only assumptions that callers of our method should make, and are expressed precisely, enabling loose coupling between the components of our program. That loose coupling then allows us to refactor the implementation, if necessary. The post-conditions and invariants are testable; it results in code that can be easily unit tested, because the post-conditions are predicates our unit-test code can check (assert). Thinking in terms of post-conditions naturally produces a design that has success as a post-condition, which is the natural style for using exceptions. The normal ("happy") execution path of your program is laid out linearly, with all the error handling code moved to the catch clauses.

抛出异常会导致堆栈unwind,这对性能有一定影响(承认,现代托管环境在这方面有所改进)。仍然在嵌套的情况下反复抛出和捕获异常是一个坏主意。

可能比这更重要的是,例外是针对特殊情况的。它们不应该用于普通的控制流,因为这会损害代码的可读性。

异常是一种代价高昂的效果,例如,如果您有一个用户提供了无效的密码,那么通常更好的方法是返回一个失败标志,或其他一些无效的指示。

这是由于异常处理的方式,真正的错误输入和唯一的关键停止项应该是异常,而不是失败的登录信息。

我有三种情况。

Bad or missing input should not be an exception. Use both client side js and server side regex to detect, set attributes and forward back to the same page with messages. The AppException. This is usually an exception that you detect and throw with in your code. In other words these are ones you expect (the file does not exist). Log it, set the message, and forward back to the general error page. This page usually has a bit of info about what happened. The unexpected Exception. These are the ones you don't know about. Log it with details and forward them to a general error page.

希望这能有所帮助
