SignalHandlerMBS.Signal(n as Integer)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
event System MBS Util Plugin 8.5 ✅ Yes ❌ No ✅ Yes ❌ No
A signal was called and you set an event handler.
Example 
Sub Signal(n as Integer)
  // restore system handler in case we get that crash again!
  
  MySignalHandlerMBS.SetDefaultHandler n
  
  // Mac and Linux can have different signal numbers:
  
  #if TargetMacOS then
    dim c as string = "Signal "+str(n)+" on Mac OS X"
  #elseif TargetLinux then
    dim c as string = "Signal "+str(n)+" on Linux"
  #else
    dim c as string = "Signal "+str(n)+" on ?"
  #endif
  
  dim BackTraceLines() as string
  #if mbs.BuildNumber>17662 and not TargetWin32 then // new in 13.0 plugins
    BackTraceLines = BacktraceMBS
  #endif
  
  // show your bug reporter (or the MBS one)
  'dim b as new Bugreporter
  'b.ShowExceptionReporter c, BackTraceLines
  
  // quit now without cleaning up the RB runtime which may crash again
  ExitMBS 1
End Sub

This function may be called at any time, so you need to use code which is thread safe. (see ThreadMBS class)
