This has had a very unexpectedly pleasant side-effect of not killing the
application when I dereference a null pointer in the compiler. The
compiler thread crashes and the application keeps on keeping on. I only
just noticed this and I think it's fab, *but* (and there is always a but).
It's not really fabulous: if you have a long running thread but you
forget to catch any exception, it will simply die and the main
application won't notice.
Previously when it crashed I'd get a backtrace to the terminal. Now I
don't get a backtrace if the one of the sub-threads crash.
Is there any way I can get a backtrace from a crashed thread or is it
related to the RTL not knowing there is an exception and therefore not
dumping it out?
I don't know, but I know that delphi did the same (i.e. unhandled
exceptions in a thread would silently kill it).
