  32 /**
  33  * The {@code Throwable} class is the superclass of all errors and
  34  * exceptions in the Java language. Only objects that are instances of this
  35  * class (or one of its subclasses) are thrown by the Java Virtual Machine or
  36  * can be thrown by the Java {@code throw} statement. Similarly, only
  37  * this class or one of its subclasses can be the argument type in a
  38  * {@code catch} clause.
  39  *
  40  * For the purposes of compile-time checking of exceptions, {@code
  41  * Throwable} and any subclass of {@code Throwable} that is not also a
  42  * subclass of either {@link RuntimeException} or {@link Error} are
  43  * regarded as checked exceptions.
  44  *
  45  * <p>Instances of two subclasses, {@link java.lang.Error} and
  46  * {@link java.lang.Exception}, are conventionally used to indicate
  47  * that exceptional situations have occurred. Typically, these instances
  48  * are freshly created in the context of the exceptional situation so
  49  * as to include relevant information (such as stack trace data).
  50  *
  51  * <p>A throwable contains a snapshot of the execution stack of its
  52  * thread at the time it was created. It can also contain a message
  53  * string that gives more information about the error. Over time, a
  54  * throwable can {@linkplain Throwable#addSuppressed suppress} other
  55  * throwables from being propagated.  Finally, the throwable can also
  56  * contain a <i>cause</i>: another throwable that caused this
  57  * throwable to be constructed.  The recording of this causal information
  58  * is referred to as the <i>chained exception</i> facility, as the
  59  * cause can, itself, have a cause, and so on, leading to a "chain" of
  60  * exceptions, each caused by another.
  61  *
  62  * <p>One reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the class that
  63  * throws it is built atop a lower layered abstraction, and an operation on
  64  * the upper layer fails due to a failure in the lower layer.  It would be bad
  65  * design to let the throwable thrown by the lower layer propagate outward, as
  66  * it is generally unrelated to the abstraction provided by the upper layer.
  67  * Further, doing so would tie the API of the upper layer to the details of
  68  * its implementation, assuming the lower layer's exception was a checked
  69  * exception.  Throwing a "wrapped exception" (i.e., an exception containing a
  70  * cause) allows the upper layer to communicate the details of the failure to
  71  * its caller without incurring either of these shortcomings.  It preserves
  72  * the flexibility to change the implementation of the upper layer without
  73  * changing its API (in particular, the set of exceptions thrown by its
  74  * methods).
  75  *
  76  * <p>A second reason that a throwable may have a cause is that the method
  77  * that throws it must conform to a general-purpose interface that does not
  78  * permit the method to throw the cause directly.  For example, suppose
  79  * a persistent collection conforms to the {@link java.util.Collection
  80  * Collection} interface, and that its persistence is implemented atop
  81  * {@code java.io}.  Suppose the internals of the {@code add} method
  82  * can throw an {@link java.io.IOException IOException}.  The implementation
  83  * can communicate the details of the {@code IOException} to its caller
  84  * while conforming to the {@code Collection} interface by wrapping the
  85  * {@code IOException} in an appropriate unchecked exception.  (The
  86  * specification for the persistent collection should indicate that it is
  87  * capable of throwing such exceptions.)
  88  *
  89  * <p>A cause can be associated with a throwable in two ways: via a
  90  * constructor that takes the cause as an argument, or via the
  91  * {@link #initCause(Throwable)} method.  New throwable classes that
  92  * wish to allow causes to be associated with them should provide constructors
  93  * that take a cause and delegate (perhaps indirectly) to one of the
  94  * {@code Throwable} constructors that takes a cause.
  95  *
  96  * Because the {@code initCause} method is public, it allows a cause to be
  97  * associated with any throwable, even a "legacy throwable" whose
  98  * implementation predates the addition of the exception chaining mechanism to
  99  * {@code Throwable}.
 100  *
 101  * <p>By convention, class {@code Throwable} and its subclasses have two
 102  * constructors, one that takes no arguments and one that takes a
 103  * {@code String} argument that can be used to produce a detail message.
 104  * Further, those subclasses that might likely have a cause associated with
 105  * them should have two more constructors, one that takes a
 106  * {@code Throwable} (the cause), and one that takes a
 107  * {@code String} (the detail message) and a {@code Throwable} (the
 108  * cause).

 595      * suppressed in order to deliver an exception are printed out
 596      * beneath the stack trace.  The format of this information
 597      * depends on the implementation, but the following example may be
 598      * regarded as typical:
 599      *

 606      *          at Foo.bar(Foo.java:9)
 607      *          ... 1 more
 608      * </pre>
 609      * Note that the "... n more" notation is used on suppressed exceptions
 610      * just at it is used on causes. Unlike causes, suppressed exceptions are
 611      * indented beyond their "containing exceptions."
 612      *
 613      * <p>An exception can have both a cause and one or more suppressed
 614      * exceptions:
 615      * <pre>
 616      * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Main block
 617      *  at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:7)

 620      *          at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:5)

 625      *  at Foo3.main(Foo3.java:8)

 627      * Likewise, a suppressed exception can have a cause:

 629      * Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Main block
 630      *  at Foo4.main(Foo4.java:6)

1017      * propagated.  In the {@code try}-with-resources statement, when
1018      * there are two such exceptions, the exception originating from
1019      * the {@code try} block is propagated and the exception from the
