ChangeLog for error
===================
Version 1.44 - 2003-05-25 (GV)
------------
+ (errorhandling_implementation.cc) Add extern to definition of
f9x symbol errstr to avoid error on Mac OS X (duplicat symbol
definition).
Version 1.43 - 2003-02-14 (GV)
------------
+ (SetExceptionErrorHandler.cc) preserve the name of the client
and verbosity level when the handler is switched.

------------
(src/MessageHandler.h, src/MessageFormatter.h)
(src/AsciiFormatter.*, src/BinaryFormatter.*)
(src/SimpleHandler.*)
+ A Task is now "SAS aware"!
Refactored to use a separate message channel with children that
belong to the SAS family.
In effect stdout, and stderr are now directly dumped to the log,
regardless a SAS-task or not; messages, warnings and errors from
sas tasks are recognized and treated as such.
+ Fixed (SOC::SPR-1187, SOC::SPR-2174)
+ Messages are dumped on the stdout channel if a task is executed
as stand-alone.
Version 1.41 - 2003-01-27 (GV)

------------
+ (src/ExceptionErrorHandler.cc)
Fixed bug in protected exceptions of non-C++ code.
Version 1.38 - 2002-01-14 (GV)
------------

exit(1) but raise(SIGUSR1).

Version 1.35 - 2000-10-27 (JBa)
------------
+ (src/ErrorHandler.h) Added pure virtual method "tryExternal"
this method should be used whenever calling f90-task
+ (...) Changes and tests accordingly
Version 1.34.1 - 2000-10-23 (JBa)
------------
+ (src/errorhandling_implementation.cc) commented out faulty and
unused interface functions (status(), try())
+ (src/errorhandling.f90) added "Always", as Message Verbosity
Version 1.34 - 2000-10-05 (JBa)
------------
+ simplified interface of Error:
ErrorHandler* oldHandler = errHandler.handler(newHandler);
// do something that should be caught by the new error handler
errHandler.handler(oldHandler);
READ EXAMPLE IN (src/ExceptionErrorHandler.h)
Version 1.33 - 2000-10-05 (JBa)
------------
+ (src/Error.h, src/ErrorDispatcher.h) added a method to retrieve
the current ErrorHandler
Version 1.32 - 2000-09-19 (JBa)
------------
TODO: handling floating point exceptions etc...?
+ (src/SimpleHandler.h) made a few methods virtual, so we can use this
as base class...
+ (src/ExceptionErrorHandler.h) Error handler that generates exceptions
instead of hard exit.
+ (src/SasException.h) Namespace for SAS-code generated exceptions
READ IT!
+ (test/testExceptionErrorHandler.cc,test/runtestExceptionErrorHandler)
test programs for exceptions
Version 1.31 - 2000-09-18 (JBa)
------------
+ (src/Msg.h) Added "Msg::Always". This allows the DEVELOPER to spit
out messages, no matter what the verbosity level is.

avoiding strange segfault
Version 1.29 - 2000-04-18 (GV)
------------
+ (src/SuppressHandler.h) modify logic for SAS_SUPPRESS_WARNING as

environment variable.

a null pointer as argument which sets the error handler to the
default handler
Version 1.26 - 2000-02-10 (JBa)
------------
+ (Error.h) added virtual void ignoreWarning(Code code) = 0;
+ (Error.h) added virtual void allowWarning(Code code) = 0;
+ (Error.h) added virtual string asCommandLine()=0;
+ (ErrorDispatcher.h) added implementation of the above, using
a SuppressHandler
+ (SuppressHandler.h) added taking care of warning messages
+ (errorhandling.f90) increased errstr buffer size to match the C++
equivalent
+ with TRACE on, error/fatal raise 'signal user 1'. This should help debugging.
