Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Exception::GlobalExceptionHandler::GlobalExceptionHandler (   )  throw ()

Default constructor. This constructor installs the BALL specific handlers for terminate, unexpected, and new_handler. terminate or unexpected are called to abort a program if an exception was not caught or a function exits via an exception that is not allowed by its exception specification. Both functions are replaced by a function of GlobalExceptionHandler that tries to determine the last exception thrown. This mechanism only works, if all exceptions are defrived from GeneralException . The default new_handler is replaced by newHandler and throws an exception of type OutOfMemory instead of bad_alloc (the default behaviour defined in the ANSI C++ standard).
