An Objection Class for Rudimentary Error Handling

An important issue in the development of third party C++ software is how to handle errors when they occur. Until exception handling is part of the C++ language, another mechanism for error handling must be used. One common method for handling error conditions is to set an error flag or return a suspicious value when something goes wrong. The client programmer is then expected to check this value to make sure that everything is fine. Unfortunately, this is not always reasonable or possible.
