The Win32 runtime can detect invalid parameters to many library functions.
For example, access to
std::vectorelements by means of numerical index (std::vector::operator[]()) are checked against thevector's size.When an invalid parameter is detected, the default behavior is to terminate the program -- and that is what should happen, in the end.
The purpose of this PR is to catch these events, so that debugging them becomes possible.
Logging is done on standard error; better options are welcome.
