Purpose

Usage

The module is used by MeVisLab and you should not be required to use it directly yourself.

Nonetheless, you may adjust the settings in your own application by creating an instance of the module in your MeVisLab network.

Details

A report of the recently called actions and traversed nodes can be generated if an exception is thrown to trace the cause of a crash.

This feature is disabled by default and can be enabled at runtime using the SoCatch::enableExceptionHandling() function found in SoCatch.
