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?
Personally I'm very uncomfortable in changing the semantics of the lib based on whether it's a debug build or not. John.
