<overview>
|
|
<p>Ignoring exceptions that should be dealt with in some way is almost always a bad idea.
|
|
The loss of information can lead to hard to debug errors and incomplete log files.
|
|
It is even possible that ignoring an exception can cause a security vulnerability.
|
|
An empty <code>except</code> block may be an indication that the programmer intended to
|
|
handle the exception, but never wrote the code to do so.</p>
|
|
|
|
</overview>
|
|
<recommendation>
|
|
<p>Ensure all exceptions are handled correctly.</p>
|
|
|
|
</recommendation>

|
<example>
|
|
<p>In this example, the program keeps running with the same privileges if it fails to drop to lower
|
|
privileges.</p>
