frog.gui.uncaught_exceptions

Code for handling uncaught exceptions.

Functions

set_uncaught_exception_handler(parent)

Catches uncaught exceptions so we can log them and display a dialog.

Details of the exception, including the stack trace, will be written to the program log and displayed to the user in a pop-up dialog. Note that this won't happen if you're running the program in a debugger that intercepts these exceptions first!

The purpose is to make it easier for end-users to communicate with the developers when a bug occurs.
