Detailed Description

Base exception class for handling segmentation faults.

It throws segmentation faults as exceptions. Please remember that SIGSEGV is not recoverable, which means it can NOT be catched! Also note that this will only work on Linux.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WSegmentationFault()

WSegmentationFault::WSegmentationFault ( const std::string & msg = "Segmentation Fault" )

explicit

Default constructor.

Parameters

msg	name of the exception. mostly the default "Segmentation Fault"

Definition at line 29 of file WSegmentationFault.cpp.

References WException::m_msg.

◆ ~WSegmentationFault()

WSegmentationFault::~WSegmentationFault	(	)
throw	(
	)

virtual

Destructor.

Definition at line 36 of file WSegmentationFault.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getSignalNumber()

int WSegmentationFault::getSignalNumber	(	)
throw	(
	)

static

Defines signal type to handle.

Returns: The signal number.

Definition at line 41 of file WSegmentationFault.cpp.

◆ installSignalHandler()

void WSegmentationFault::installSignalHandler	(	)
throw	(
	)

static

Installs this exception as signal handler for SIGSEGV.

This will just work on Linux.
