If you are having difficulty with uncaught exceptions and want a
|
| 5 |
|
|
little bit of help debugging the causes of the core dumps, you can
|
| 6 |
|
|
make use of a GNU extension, the verbose terminate handler.
|
| 7 |
|
|
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
| 8 |
|
|
#include <exception>
|
| 9 |
|
|
|
| 10 |
|
|
int main()
|
| 11 |
|
|
{
|
| 12 |
|
|
std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
|
| 13 |
|
|
...
|
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
throw <em class="replaceable"><code>anything</code></em>;
|
| 16 |
|
|
}
|
| 17 |
|
|
</pre><p>
|
| 18 |
|
|
The <code class="function">__verbose_terminate_handler</code> function
|
| 19 |
|
|
obtains the name of the current exception, attempts to demangle
|
| 20 |
|
|
it, and prints it to stderr. If the exception is derived from
|
| 21 |
|
|
<code class="classname">exception</code> then the output from
|
| 22 |
|
|
<code class="function">what()</code> will be included.
|
| 23 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 24 |
|
|
Any replacement termination function is required to kill the
|
| 25 |
|
|
program without returning; this one calls abort.
|
| 26 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 27 |
|
|
For example:
|
| 28 |
|
|
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
| 29 |
|
|
#include <exception>
|
| 30 |
|
|
#include <stdexcept>
|
| 31 |
|
|
|
| 32 |
|
|
struct argument_error : public std::runtime_error
|
| 33 |
|
|
{
|
| 34 |
|
|
argument_error(const std::string& s): std::runtime_error(s) { }
|
| 35 |
|
|
};
|
| 36 |
|
|
|
| 37 |
|
|
int main(int argc)
|
| 38 |
|
|
{
|
| 39 |
|
|
std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
|
| 40 |
|
|
if (argc > 5)
|
| 41 |
|
|
throw argument_error(<span class="quote">“<span class="quote">argc is greater than 5!</span>”</span>);
|
| 42 |
|
|
else
|
| 43 |
|
|
throw argc;
|
| 44 |
|
|
}
|
| 45 |
|
|
</pre><p>
|
| 46 |
|
|
With the verbose terminate handler active, this gives:
|
| 47 |
|
|
</p><pre class="screen">
|
| 48 |
|
|
<code class="computeroutput">
|
| 49 |
|
|
% ./a.out
|
| 50 |
|
|
terminate called after throwing a `int'
|
| 51 |
|
|
Aborted
|
| 52 |
|
|
% ./a.out f f f f f f f f f f f
|
| 53 |
|
|
terminate called after throwing an instance of `argument_error'
|
| 54 |
|
|
what(): argc is greater than 5!
|
| 55 |
|
|
Aborted
|
| 56 |
|
|
</code>
|
| 57 |
|
|
</pre><p>
|
| 58 |
|
|
The 'Aborted' line comes from the call to
|
| 59 |
|
|
<code class="function">abort()</code>, of course.
|
| 60 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 61 |
|
|
This is the default termination handler; nothing need be done to
|
| 62 |
|
|
use it. To go back to the previous <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">silent death</span>”</span>
|
| 63 |
|
|
method, simply include <code class="filename">exception</code> and
|
| 64 |
|
|
<code class="filename">cstdlib</code>, and call
|
| 65 |
|
|
</p><pre class="programlisting">
|
| 66 |
|
|
std::set_terminate(std::abort);
|
| 67 |
|
|
</pre><p>
|
| 68 |
|
|
After this, all calls to <code class="function">terminate</code> will use
|
| 69 |
|
|
<code class="function">abort</code> as the terminate handler.
|
| 70 |
|
|
</p><p>
|
| 71 |
|
|
Note: the verbose terminate handler will attempt to write to
|
| 72 |
|
|
stderr. If your application closes stderr or redirects it to an
|
| 73 |
|
|
inappropriate location,
|
| 74 |
|
|
<code class="function">__verbose_terminate_handler</code> will behave in
|
| 75 |
|
|
an unspecified manner.
