Messages.onErrorQuery

Prompts the user with [E]xit, [H]alt, show [S]tack trace or [P]roceed. This function is intended to be used for debugging use only. The following example shows how it can be used together with the g_log() functions.

[include|include] <glib.h>

static void
log_handler (const gchar   *log_domain,
GLogLevelFlags log_level,
const gchar   *message,
gpointer       user_data)
{
g_log_default_handler (log_domain, log_level, message, user_data);

g_on_error_query (MY_PROGRAM_NAME);
}

int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
g_log_set_handler (MY_LOG_DOMAIN,
G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING |
G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR |
G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL,
log_handler,
NULL);
...

If "Exit" is selected, the application terminates with a call to _exit(0).

If "Stack" trace is selected, g_on_error_stack_trace() is called. This invokes gdb, which attaches to the current process and shows a stack trace. The prompt is then shown again.

If "Proceed" is selected, the function returns.

This function may cause different actions on non-UNIX platforms.

On Windows consider using the G_DEBUGGER environment variable (see Running GLib Applications) and calling g_on_error_stack_trace() instead.
