SFML error checking and exceptions
« on: December 27, 2010, 12:11:50 pm »
Hi, do SFML throw exceptions in any of the classes? If not how should I check for failures? for example when creating the sf::Window class, how would I know if the constructor failed? or sf::Window::Create failed?

SFML doesn't use exceptions. Everything that may fail returns a boolean, and prints a message in standard output on failure.

Constructors and functions that don't return a boolean, such as Window::Window and Window::Create, cannot fail.

Did you mean "standard error output"?
