Re: verbose exception

["Paul Davis" <pjdavis engineering uiowa edu>]

I've know of a guy that did something with similar functionality but a better implementation.

http://www.slamb.org/svn/repos/trunk/projects/atoms/atoms/debug.cc

This is an implementation of a Backtrace class that can be conditionally included in throw exceptions ( He has it compile conditional )

It does depend on the compiler and system though.  Specifically, the header 
execinfo.h ( Which I assume to be a standard gcc extension ).  Although, execinfo might not exist on other platforms or for other compilers. I'm very knowledgable as to all the other compilers and the backtrace accessibility.

And, its not like you get anything more than you'd get from gdb. So, unless you've got a huge project with at least hundreds of installations and want to implement some sort of automatic backtrace report on crash capability, I don't really see the need.

But, I'll have to agree with the other Paul, wrapping code in try/catch blocks is not the way to go (And is generally a Bad Idea).

Hope that helps,

Paul

This is practically a killer.  No one (I think) will add this, it is way
too inconvenient and intrusive (and I guess also a performance slower.)
