Description Stephan Bergmann 2008-09-26 09:11:43 UTC 
There are often crash reports where the crash is caused by
std::terminate/std::unexpected due to an uncaught/unexpected C++ exception
(e.g., issue 94226 and issue 94240), where information about the exception
(exact type, message string) could help in diagnosing the cause of the crash. 
However, such information (that would be available in the terminate/unexpected
handler) is currently not present in the generated crash report data.

Comment 2 Stephan Bergmann 2009-01-16 09:53:12 UTC 
cannot remember why I stated that exception information "would be available in
the terminte/unexpected handler"

Adding the file name and line number in any exception ( could be done
automatically ) would allow to identify the throwing statement uniquely. I had
already cases, when the same exception was thrown from the same method more than
once, and the crash report has shown the throwing statement wrongly.

The benefit of line information adding is that it does not cost performance at
all, it happens during the compilation time.
