Description Darin Adler 2001-12-06 19:53:09 UTC 
There's a function in eel called
eel_make_warnings_and_criticals_stop_in_debugger. It would be way better if
this function could work globally for all domains. But at the moment, it
takes a list of domains, because it works via the g_log_set_handler
mechanism. If there was a way to override the default handler, then I could
do a better implementation.

I think that there are also other legitimate reasons to want to change the
default log handler for all domains.

I agree with this. The Eclipse people were needing it too.
Comment 2 John Ehresman 2004-07-05 17:36:37 UTC 
This would also be a benefit to apps wanting to redirect everything on win32 and
for language bindings that want to redirect messages to another logging mechanism.
