Detailed Description

This class handles segmentation-faults. By default it displays a message-box saying the application crashed. This default can be overridden by setting a custom crash handler with setCrashHandler(). If a function is specified with setEmergencySaveFunction() it will be called by the default crash handler, giving the application a chance to save its data.

void defaultCrashHandler (int signal)

[static]

typedef void (*HandlerType)(int)

void setCrashHandler (HandlerType handler = defaultCrashHandler)

[static]

Install a function to be called in case a SIGSEGV is caught.

null in wich case signal-catching is disabled (by calling signal(SIGSEGV, SIG_DFL))
if handler is omitted the default crash handler is installed.
an user defined function in the form: static (if in a class) void myCrashHandler(int);

Parameters:

HandlerType handler can be one of

HandlerType crashHandler ()

[static]

Returns the intalled crash handler

void setEmergencySaveFunction (HandlerType saveFunction = (HandlerType)0)

[static]

Installs a function which should try to save the applications data. It is the crash handler´s responsibility to call this function. Therefore, if no crash handler is set, the default crash handler is installed to ensure the save function is called.

HandlerType emergencySaveFunction ()

[static]

Return the currently set emergency save function.

void setApplicationPath (QString path)

[static]

Sets the application path path which should be passed to Dr. Konqi, our nice crash display application.

void setApplicationName (QString name)

[static]

Sets the application name name which should be passed to Dr. Konqi, our nice crash display application.
