[Implemented] All OS support for OnError library

ozzie · Post by **ozzie** » Tue Jul 01, 2008 12:49 pm

I'm porting my VB6 application to PB, and in VB6 I made extensive use of OnError. This has proved extermely useful in quickly identifying where errors occur that have been reported by a user. I was pleased to find PB provides the OnError library but see that it is only supported for Windows. One of the reasons for choosing PB was the cross-platform support, so my feature request is to provide all OS support for the OnError library. Apart from Windows, I'm wanting to compile to Mac OS X and Linux.

Yes, 4.30 will have an OnError library for all OS and all supported processors.

It would be really cool, if PureBasic executables (on all OS) were able to write crash reports to a file, maybe MyProgram.err or something like. This could be enabled by compiler options. Freak, whats your opinion on this idea?

You can already do that with the info collected by the OnError lib, what else do you need ?

@mback2k:
HeXOR has coded a very good Include:

Instead of Mailing you can use CreateFile for creating an error-File.

Thanks for the tip. A Include is probably the best solution. Now I have to wait for the Linux version of the OnError library.
