Why do programmers sometimes silently swallow exceptions? [closed]

June 4, 2023 by Tarik

Looking in my own code, I found a place in my logging code where, after failing to write to a file and failing to write to the event log, it swallows the error as there is no place left to report it. That’s one example: there aren’t many others.
