Hi Richard,
In my opinion Exceptions are just that, Exceptions, not all exceptions are bugs, I myself raise exceptions on numerous occasions, and catching them on the appropriate places, only exceptions that are not handled by my normal exception handling are bugs.
simplified i use the following logic
Application.Initialize
try
Application.Run;
except
EnableEmergencyLights;
LogError;
SaySorry;
end;
Application.Free;
I personally use MadShi to find bugs while developing, but do not include it in my final application.
Best regards,
Mario van Zeist
