Lix, being a C++ program, can crash in a few kinds of ways.
|
||
|
|
It can obviously do a memory access violation, which will generate a core dump and thus be relatively debuggable.
|
||
|
|
But, worse, it could throw an unhandled exception, and, in the past, we would just show the message but not where it comes from, in spite of this always being a bug, since we expect all such errors to be translated to a Lix specific error.
|
||
|
|
Now the latter kind of bug should print reporting instructions, a rudimentary stack trace and (depending on system configuration) generate a core dump.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sample output:
|
||
|
|

Lix crashed. This is a bug. We would appreciate if you report it along with what caused it at https://git.lix.systems/lix-project/lix/issues with the following information included:

Exception: std::runtime_error: test exception
