+ * infomations about them: backtrace, throw point, simulated process name
+ * and PID, etc.
+ *
+ * You are not expected to inherit from it. Instead of you use should
+ * @ref XBT_THROW an exception which will throw a subclass of your original

+ *
+ * However, you can try `dynamic_cast` an exception to this type in order to
