objc2 0.3.0-beta.0

Objective-C interface and runtime bindings
Documentation
//! Objective-C's @throw and @try/@catch.
//!
//! By default, if the [`msg_send!`] macro causes an exception to be thrown,
//! this will unwind into Rust, resulting in undefined behavior. However, this
//! crate has an `"catch_all"` feature which, when enabled, wraps each
//! [`msg_send!`] in a [`catch`] and panics if an exception is caught,
//! preventing Objective-C from unwinding into Rust.
//!
//! This module is only available when the `"exception"` feature is enabled.
//!

// TODO: Test this with panic=abort, and ensure that the code-size is
// reasonable in that case.
