+ 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, the verbose terminate handler.
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+#include <exception>
+
+int main()
+{
+ std::set_terminate(__gnu_cxx::__verbose_terminate_handler);
+ ...
+
+ throw <em class="replaceable"><code>anything</code></em>;
+}
+</pre><p>
+ The <code class="function">__verbose_terminate_handler</code> function
+ obtains the name of the current exception, attempts to demangle
+ it, and prints it to stderr. If the exception is derived from
+ <code class="classname">exception</code> then the output from
+ <code class="function">what()</code> will be included.
+ </p><p>
+ Any replacement termination function is required to kill the
+ program without returning; this one calls abort.
+ </p><p>
+ For example:
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+#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(“<span class="quote">argc is greater than 5!</span>”);
+ else
+ throw argc;
+}
+</pre><p>
+ With the verbose terminate handler active, this gives:
+ </p><pre class="screen">
+ <code class="computeroutput">
+ % ./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
+ </code>
+ </pre><p>
+ The 'Aborted' line comes from the call to
+ <code class="function">abort()</code>, of course.
+ </p><p>
+ This is the default termination handler; nothing need be done to
+ use it. To go back to the previous “<span class="quote">silent death</span>”
+ method, simply include <code class="filename">exception</code> and
+ <code class="filename">cstdlib</code>, and call
+ </p><pre class="programlisting">
+ std::set_terminate(std::abort);
+ </pre><p>
+ After this, all calls to <code class="function">terminate</code> will use
+ <code class="function">abort</code> as the terminate handler.
+ </p><p>
+ Note: the verbose terminate handler will attempt to write to
+ stderr. If your application closes stderr or redirects it to an
+ inappropriate location,
+ <code class="function">__verbose_terminate_handler</code> will behave in
+ an unspecified manner.
