Re: Try/Catch

Ok, here's something to think about. Here are the possible causes of a fatal crash i could find from a quick search of source\execute.e. Which ones of these could be redesigned to not necessarily be fatal? Whether or not try/catch is the solution, i think we should discuss how we can find alternatives self-destructing in these situations. (Don't forget to think outside of the box for this!)
