logrhythm/DeathKnell

A class that allows a final callback when fatal errors (SEGV, SIGKILL, etc) are received

DeathKnell

The Death functionality allows final callbacks when fatal signal errors or g3log fatal events are received.

Examples of fatal signal errors are:

• SIGSEGV
• SIGABRT
• SIGFPE
• SIGILL
• SIGTERM Ref: [g3log ksignals]

Examples of g3log fatal events are

• LOG(FATAL) --> FATAL logging event
• CHECK(<expression == false>) --> FATAL contract event

DeathKnell is an extension to the fatal handling provided by [g3log]. The extension makes is significantly easier to unit test fatal event handling.

The API is available in the [Death.h] header file. API usage is best read in the [unit tests].
