Objective-C. Exception Handling Using @try

For me it is a bit strange that Xcode compiles this code:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

@interface Test: NSObject
{
    int x;
}

@property int x;
-(void) print;

@end

@implementation Test

@synthesize x;

-(void) print
{
    NSLog(@"x = %i", x);
}

@end


int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    Test* test = [[Test alloc] init];
    test.x = 10;
    [test print];
    
    [test noSuchMethod];
    
    [test release];
    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}

As you see I call noSuchMethod from the test object. Xcode shows just a warning:

Of course, the application crashes:

The book recommends to use @try in such cases:

@try {
    [test noSuchMethod];
}
@catch (NSException *exception) {
    NSLog(@"Caught %@%@", [exception name], [exception reason]);
}

And so here is the console:

@finally block also can be used and works exactly as in any C++ compiler. Same is right about @throw directive.
