[erlang-questions] Distinguishing CORBA user and system exceptions

[Dominic Williams]

Hello,

Is there a simple way of distinguishing between user and
system CORBA exceptions ?

They both have the same form: {'EXCEPTION', E}, where E is a
tuple (or record) whose first element is an atom.

Neither of the options I see seems very satisfactory:

- check whether the atom is one of the 36 or so system
  exceptions;

- if the second element of the tuple looks like
  "IDL:Foo/Bar:1.0", we have a user exception;

- if the exception is a 4-tuple whose last element is one of
  'COMPLETED_NO', 'COMPLETED_YES', 'COMPLETED_MAYBE', we
  (probably) have a system exception.

Am I missing something?

Cheers,
