Customizing uncaught exception messages

[Yang Zhang]

Hi, is it possible to get more informative error messages for uncaught 
exceptions?  For instance, I'm interested in getting Java-like 
tracebacks with file and line numbers.  Currently what I see is far from 
that, e.g.:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::logic_error'
   what():  basic_string::_S_construct NULL not valid

Is there any way to hook into the exception handling mechanisms and 
produce such a traceback?  If the solution is platform-dependent, I am 
using GNU/Linux with gcc 4.2.3.

Thanks!
