A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Is there any workaround to avoid `@Throws` annotation and handle the error on the native platform side. For example I have function in kotlin native that can throw `SocketTimeoutException` , Is there anyway to handle it on the iOS side without adding the `@Throws` annotation on my function?

Convert to using return types like `Result` instead of throwing an exception.

yeah that seems like an option. But feels weird to catch all the exceptions the function can potentially throw and wrap it to a return type.

<@U01D56B2A2H> anychance you have used `unhandledExceptionHook` before?

No.  Right now I only use exceptions for programmers bugs and don't handle them.

Anything that is expected like IOExceptions, I catch at the point of the IO and convert to result type objects.  I feel this is safer, since Kotlin doesn't have checked exceptions.  There also aren't that many places where I would have used checked exceptions (pretty much just IO work).

gotcha. That makes sense. Thank you for the prompt replies, appreciate it.
