Another query: couldn't we make whether exceptions get swallowed a runtime parameter? As in:
if(swallow_exceptions) { try{ users_thread_proc(); }catch(...){ whatever(); } } else users_thread_proc();
Unfortunately I was posting my first response to the wrong place. Wouldn't it be a viable alternative to leave out the swallowed exceptions just in debug build? At least the original posters intent (as I understand it) was to get useful information propagated to the debugger. As a pragmatic approach we just could try to run a regression cycle with the catch-all removed and measure how many modules are failing because of this. If the outcome shows no big difference the catch-all could be simply removed. What do you think? Is this feasible? Regards, Roland
