Errors Table

[xbytor]

I posted this over at Adobe Forums as well.

I finally figured out a way to map error numbers to error strings. Note that this list does not contain errors (like 8800) for which there is no unique text. Errors like 8800 can have arbitrary text so doing a mapping for them would prove to be impractical for me to automate.

The primary driver for cooking up this table was the need to handle exceptions based on their number, not the text of the message, because English is not the only language out there .

Here is this list that I was able to come up with. The 'XXX' in some strings is replaced at runtime typically by a variable name.

2, ReferenceError, "XXX is undefined"
3, ReferenceError, "Cannot assign value"
4, SyntaxError, "Unterminated string constant"

One way that this information can be used is to throw your own exceptions.

Code: Select allfunction ftn(a, b) {

   if (a < 0) {
      Error.runtimeError(41, "a");
   }
   //....
};

If 'a' is less than 0, this will throw a RangeError that will have the message:
"a is out of range"
