What (who) is fatal exception - definition

ERROR THAT CAUSES A PROGRAM TO ABORT

Fatal exception; Critical error; Fatal errors

fatal exception

<programming, operating system> A program execution error which is trapped by the operating system and which results in abrupt termination of the program. It may be possible for the program to catch some such errors, e.g. a floating point underflow; others, such as an invalid memory access (an attempt to write to read-only memory or an attempt to read memory outside of the program's {address space}), may always cause control to pass to the operating system without allowing the program an opportunity to handle the error. The details depend on the language's {run-time system} and the operating system. See also: fatal error. (1997-08-03)

Fatal exception error

In computing, a fatal exception error or fatal error is an error that causes a program to abort and may therefore return the user to the operating system. When this happens, data that the program was processing may be lost.

GPL linking exception

LICENSE EXCEPTION OF GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Classpath license; Classpath exception; GPL runtime exception; GPL linking exeption; Classpath Exception; Classpath linking exception

A GPL linking exception modifies the GNU General Public License (GPL) in a way that enables software projects which provide library code to be "linked to" the programs that use them, without applying the full terms of the GPL to the using program. Linking is the technical process of connecting code in a library to the using code, to produce a single executable file.

Fatal exception error

In computing, a fatal exception error or fatal error is an error that causes a program to abort and may therefore return the user to the operating system. When this happens, data that the program was processing may be lost. A fatal error is usually distinguished from a fatal system error (colloquially referred to in the MS Windows operating systems by the error message it produces as a "blue screen of death"). A fatal error occurs typically in any of the following cases:

An illegal instruction has been attempted
Invalid data or code has been accessed
An operation is not allowed in the current ring or CPU mode
A program attempts to divide by zero (only for integers; with the IEEE floating point standard, this creates an infinity instead).

In some systems, such as macOS and Microsoft Windows, a fatal error causes the operating system to create a log entry or to save an image (core dump) of the process.
