I have changed the subject of the message in an effort to
separate the discussion on the "Redirect on Fatal Error" feature
(the subject of this email) from the localisation discussion.
...
As a reminder, we are discussing a patch that will redirect
the user to another page when a fatal or a parse error occurs
(parse errors can be caught with lint, fatal can't). The
redirection will allow developers to:
* Show a decent page to the user (instead of letting them
see a blank or incomplete page)
* Send a message to themselves that something
strange has happened (allowing them to react quickly, instead
of having to install log watch software for notification
purposes (and many people cannot do that as they do not
have control over the servers))
As far as I am aware, there is not a single reason not to
have this feature. Some people seem not to like it, but that
is fine; with no performance or stability risks, if you don't
want to use the feature - you won't be affected.
On the other hand, I will be extremely happy to have it under
my belt as yet another tool I can use to make my software
run better.
Please don't tell me that I wouldn't need this feature if
I programmed perfectly. Errors happen all the time, no matter
what you do trying to prevent them.
Bye,
Ivan
