Really? Are graceful asserts (ie, inner assert with an outer catch) used throughout druntime and phobos? I can still throw from my own handler I guess if that's a requirement, just as long as I have the opportunity to write it to the log/output window/pop-up message box etc before I do throw. In my codebase, asserts are fatal anyway, so if it crashes just like the default assert as soon as I throw, it doesn't matter anyway.. I just wanna see what went wrong :) I have a D DLL, loaded into a C app, if D throws, C doesn't seem to be able to catch it and it just crashes without any useful messages. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?
