[Rock-dev] Orocos silently swallows exceptions

[Jakob Schwendner]

Hi,

this is the second time, I ran into the problem, that I suspected Orocos 
to silently swallow exceptions.
This time I traced it down to RTT (rtt/ExecutionEngine.cpp).

// A trigger() in startHook() will be ignored, we trigger in TaskCore 
after startHook finishes.
             if ( taskc->mTaskState == TaskCore::Running && 
taskc->mTargetState == TaskCore::Running ) {
                 try {
                     taskc->prepareUpdateHook();
                     taskc->updateHook();
                 } catch(...){
                     taskc->exception(); // calls stopHook,cleanupHook
                 }
             }

fair enough it catches my exception, but shouldn't it let me know about 
it? Is there something I missed?

cheers,

Jakob
