How do I know all thrown exceptions of a function?

The other problem, of course, is using frameworks. When library code calls
yours, and you want to debug what it's doing, it's very difficult. If you
(for example) get an IOException in your code, and the library doesn't
accept your function throwing that error, you have to catch it there instead
of propagating it upwards to be caught in your code that calls the library.

MyCode ()
   YourCode()
     MyOtherCode()

MyOtherCode has to handle every error, instead of letting MyCode handle
some.
