Re: Program failure analysis

lets try that again... :)

I don't think dump in an on-exit makes much sense...

Sure something could go wrong in the cleanup...especially if something went
wrong in the mainline.

But at some point, you just have to bail. Think of a CL with a global
error handler...first thing you do is set a flag to ensure that the error
handler doesn't go into a loop.

I suppose you could add another monitor group in on exit...it seems to
compile at least

ctl-opt main(mainline);

dcl-proc mainline;
monitor;
// actual mainline
// doing work
on-error;
dump(a);
endmon;
on-exit;
monitor;
//cleanup
on-error;
//send a message
endmon;
return;
end-proc;

So your mainline is just a call to a procedure?

Why?

Using cycle main is just inertia. Something I will address. Making the
mainline into a single sub-procedure was the first thing I tried in
order to be able to use ON-EXIT.

If you using a linear main, your mainline procedure can have an on-exit.

DUMP is disallowed in the ON-EXIT block. How do you report errors
trapped in there? I want the program to never, ever go into MSGW. When
it traps an unexpected error, I'd like to know that it happened, and
have a fighting chance of sussing out why.
