I realize this is slightly centric to iOS, but it irks me that both Apple’s
crash report logs and popular platforms like PLCrashReporter can do the hard
stuff like give you a stack trace, but are *completely* unable to display the
error message from terminating a program via fatalError(), or the error message
from, e.g. dying with a bad optional.
Is there *any* to intercept the error messages that from fatalError() and
similar like things in swift (bad optionals, invalid array accesses,
assertions)? I would think that some sort of a “hook” into these standard
error routines would be a good thing.
In my case, if I could simply save that darn error string in a file, i could
pick it up when the app next launches and report it along with the rest of the
info like the stack/signal, etc.
I’ve been looking through the code in stdlib/public/runtime/Errors.cpp but
haven’t found anything promising that lets me jump in there. In my code, I’m
likely to write things like
guard let x = … else {
fatalError(“Data type has payload <T> but is hooked to UI
control with intrinsic type <U>”)
}
and having that exact string tells me precisely what’s going, far simpler than
a stack trace.
