Subject: Redesign uncaught exception handling to allow external reporters
X-Git-Url: http://git.tdb.fi/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f042fd992170ee8a50a7f596f1c9cdd9600b8583;p=libs%2Fcore.git

Redesign uncaught exception handling to allow external reporters

This helps keep UI code out of the core library.  It was becoming a
problem especially on OS X where including an Objective-C wrapper around
NSAlert would have broken Builder's bootstrap.  Libmspgui will acquire
a class that will present graphical error dialogs on each platform.
