    Verbose terminate

    +

    If you are having difficulty with uncaught exceptions and want a + little bit of help debugging the causes of the core dumps, you can + make use of a GNU extension in GCC 3.1 and later: +

    + 
    +   #include <exception>
+
+   int main()
+   {
+       std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
+       ...
+       throw anything;
+   }
    +

    The __verbose_terminate_handler function obtains the name + of the current exception, attempts to demangle it, and prints it to + stderr. If the exception is derived from std::exception + then the output from what() will be included. +

    +

    Any replacement termination function is required to kill the program + without returning; this one calls abort. +

    +

    For example: +

    + 
    +   #include <exception>
+   #include <stdexcept>
+
+   struct argument_error : public std::runtime_error
+   {  
+     argument_error(const std::string& s): std::runtime_error(s) { }
+   };
+
+   int main(int argc)
+   {
+     std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
+     if (argc > 5)
+       throw argument_error("argc is greater than 5!");
+     else
+       throw argc;
+   }
+
    +

    In GCC 3.1 and later, this gives +

    + 
    +   % ./a.out
+   terminate called after throwing a `int'
+   Aborted
+   % ./a.out f f f f f f f f f f f
+   terminate called after throwing an instance of `argument_error'
+   what(): argc is greater than 5!
+   Aborted
+   %
    +

    The 'Aborted' line comes from the call to abort(), of course. +

    +

    UPDATE: Starting with GCC 3.4, this is the default + termination handler; nothing need be done to use it. To go back to + the previous "silent death" method, simply include + <exception> and <cstdlib>, + and call +

    + 
    +       std::set_terminate(std::abort);
    +
