From 93f7c2dcdd36a31dca6bfd06e0784ed715e51f77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Bj=C3=B6rn=20Gustavsson?= Date: Mon, 12 Oct 2015 15:56:35 +0200 Subject: Remove useless 'catch' in start_it/1 The last clause in start_it/1 calls a function in some module. It goes to great length to catch any exception and pass them on unchanged, and if there was a normal return, it will just return the return value. It can been seen that the entire 'catch' construction with the reference trick is totally unnecessary. --- erts/preloaded/src/init.erl | 16 ++++------------ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 12 deletions(-) (limited to 'erts/preloaded/src') diff --git a/erts/preloaded/src/init.erl b/erts/preloaded/src/init.erl index a85b41fddb..c1c0e781e7 100644 --- a/erts/preloaded/src/init.erl +++ b/erts/preloaded/src/init.erl @@ -1046,18 +1046,10 @@ start_it({eval,Bin}) -> {value, _Value, _Bs} = erl_eval:exprs(Expr, erl_eval:new_bindings()), ok; start_it([_|_]=MFA) -> - Ref = make_ref(), - case catch {Ref,case MFA of - [M] -> M:start(); - [M,F] -> M:F(); - [M,F|Args] -> M:F(Args) % Args is a list - end} of - {Ref,R} -> - R; - {'EXIT',Reason} -> - exit(Reason); - Other -> - throw(Other) + case MFA of + [M] -> M:start(); + [M,F] -> M:F(); + [M,F|Args] -> M:F(Args) % Args is a list end. %% -- cgit v1.2.3
