* This is because there is some hidden setup and
* cleanup that needs to be done regardless of whether an exception is
* caught. Bypassing these steps will break the exception handling facility.
- *
+ * The symptom are likely to be a segfault at the next exception raising point,
+ * ie far away from the point where you did the mistake. If you suspect
+ * that kind of error in your code, have a look at the little script
+ * <tt>tools/xbt_exception_checker</tt> in the CVS. It extracts all the TRY
+ * blocks from a set of C files you give it and display them (and only
+ * them) on the standard output. You can then grep for the forbidden
+ * keywords on that output.
+ *
* The CLEANUP and CATCH blocks are regular ISO-C language statement
* blocks without any restrictions. You are even allowed to throw (and, in the
* CATCH block, to re-throw) exceptions.
* There is one subtle detail you should remember about TRY blocks:
* Variables used in the CLEANUP or CATCH clauses must be declared with
* the storage class "volatile", otherwise they might contain outdated
- * information if an exception it thrown.
+ * information if an exception is thrown.
*
*
* This is because you usually do not know which commands in the TRY
