Backtrace-on-throw exception logger for debugging C++ programs.

Useful in tracking down problems caused by exceptions happening in unexpected places, including those which cause threads to terminate silently.

ALL exceptions (including both caught and uncaught) are backtraced and logged upon the initial throw, so no exception shall escape your oversight. In most situations, this means you should be looking at the bottom of the resultant logs for the most relevant details.

Requirements

• a C++ program to debug
• gdb
• Python 2.7 (for python version)

Instructions

• Make sure your program was compiled in debug mode, as you would with gdb.

• Run your program with:

  ./madbomber.py YOUR_PROGRAM_HERE

• If necessary, trigger the error to happen in your program

• open madbomber.txt in current directory and to view backtraces of all exceptions
