crash catcher is a utility library (libcrash) and application (crashcatcher32 / crashcatcher64) that handles application crashes in a user- and developer- friendly manner for linux applications. normally when an application crashes, the signal causing the crash is printed to the terminal (e.g. "segmentation fault" or "aborted") and the app is killed. for a graphical environment like x11 using kde/gnome, or some other desktop manager, applications are often run without a visible terminal, which makes it appear as though the app unceremoniously quits for no reason. though even if the user ran it from a terminal, the given info is very minimal. it is possible to do something about this by installing signal handlers to watch for problems occuring, and these callbacks then do the work of collecting any information available before showing the user an error message. however, that's a non-simple solution (signal handlers are very limited in what they can safely do), and is unfair to burden every application to handle indivually, especially as other systems provide such functionality automatically. crash catcher is designed to lift this burden, to provide a sharable library that's as simple to use as possible while
