Hi, is it possible to get more informative error messages for uncaught
exceptions? For instance, I'm interested in getting Java-like
tracebacks with file and line numbers. Currently what I see is far from
that, e.g.:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
what(): basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid

Is there any way to hook into the exception handling mechanisms and
produce such a traceback? If the solution is platform-dependent, I am
using GNU/Linux with gcc 4.2.3.

Thanks!
