Hi Duncan,
Thanks for your comments. In the context of a haskell process running
as a Windows service, a message box is useless, because Haskell
services do not have a GUI and cannot interact with the desktop.
Good point. Perhaps you can persuade the people who look after GHC on
win32 to have it use the Windows debug log service for exception
messages like that when there's no GUI available. Of course if you can
code up and submit such a patch yourself then even better.
Sounds like a good idea. You need to look at rts/RtsMessages.c, in particular
rtsErrorMsgFn(), which currently has cases for GUI and non-GUI. I guess it
really should have 3 cases: GUI, console, and non-GUI.
Cheers,
Simon
