Sqlite throws an assert() and crashes when it reads a corrupt db. (Sqlite is fine, our recording medium is flaky.) I'd like to catch the assert() and report an error without crashing.
The problem is, sqlite throws assert() from functions that don't return an error code. So, there's no way to simply return an error and unwind the function call stack. So, I can see a few options, none of them good 1. Prevent asserts from happening: GOOD: that's the way things should be BAD: unfortunately I can't fix our recording medium. 2. Make every sqlite function catch errors, clean up, and return an error code when assertions fail. GOOD: that's the way things should be BAD: That's a big modification 3. Use setjmp and longjmp to unwind the stack on assert(). GOOD: easy to implement BAD: that won't clean up resources. Anyone else working on this? If not, I'll start coding #3. --Noel
