I should also note that I took a look at the solutions proposed by Matt and Chris, so that it doesn't seem like I just ignored them.

I'm not sure how I missed NSAssertionHandler, and that seems perfect to take care of assertions. But I'm hoping to find something more general that will take care of all exceptions.

As for the link Matt posted to the list: that seems like it will work to be able to intercept every exception raised, but it has the same problem as overriding -run in that all I can do is exit or re-raise the exception; I can't cause the application to crash.

Basically what it comes down to is that I want to prevent NSApplication from using its own exception handler. Is there anyone here who has done this, or are there any Apple engineers who can tell me if it's possible? If not, I suppose I will just have to intercept all exceptions, print a stack trace to the console using the method described on cocoadev.com in the StackTraces article, and then exit the application. I guess that wouldn't be so bad combined with some smart crash reporting code that could harvest the data from the console. The biggest disadvantage it has is that the user never gets the "this app crashed" window they would expect. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
