[SOLVED] Try...Except for external exception?

[Warfley]

I can't give you a more elaborate answer, but you could try to register a signal handler for all the signals and see if another signal is triggered.

See: https://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/baseunix/fpsignal.html

Thank you for the elaboration Warfley.

But this is usually not a problem in any real program, because some unit always includes sysutils or classes. It's just important to know for such minimal examples

Indeed. I simply never realized the influence of sysutils on the matter in the way you showed (appreciated).

When writing small shell tools I normally like to avoid sysutils like the plague because of the increase in size of the generated executable on/for certain platforms. That might perhaps need some (additional) reconsideration.

This initialization is probably the cause for the increased size (I guess the initialization of i18 is what's hitting hard here). So you can decide, all the pascal features or less space consumption
