Please, no keyboards. Some people want to be able to use kgdboe
to find out why machine number 324 down the corridor just died.

How about just doing


char *why_i_crashed;


{
...
if (expr1)
why_i_crashed = "hit a BUG";
else if (expr2)
why_i_crashed = "divide by zero";
else ...
}

then provide a gdb macro which prints out the string at *why_i_crashed?
