Hello Stephane, maybe i could make getTrace a protected or even public method in 5.1 but at the moment it is impossible. The whole thing of handling the exceptions is very complex and any change may result in the whole exception/catching facility being bork and trowing around SEGVs. Then we didn't add finally or catch all because we already had far too much problems. And now we are in feature freeze mode there is no chance of such features. If we would add one of them we'd need to start with another b1 because the impact is to high if you go and change compiler and/or executor.
Anyway having soemone like you to play with all the things to their deepst tricks is a good thing only you currently need to live with what we have until you find real bugs. So please continue investigating and maybe you need to collect all of your ideas for developing after 5.0 is out. marcus Saturday, January 24, 2004, 4:23:54 PM, you wrote: > Hello Marcus, > == Quote from Marcus Boerger ([EMAIL PROTECTED])'s article >> i had reasons to make that property private.
