/**
 * LLException is intended as the common base class from which all
 * viewer-specific exceptions are derived. Rationale for why it's derived from
 * both std::exception and boost::exception is explained in
 * tests/llexception_test.cpp.
 *
 * boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information() is quite wonderful: if
 * all we need to do with an exception is log it, in most places we should
 * catch (...) and log boost::current_exception_diagnostic_information().
 *
 * There may be circumstances in which it would be valuable to distinguish an
 * exception explicitly thrown by viewer code from an exception thrown by
 * (say) a third-party library. Catching (const LLException&) supports such
 * usage. However, most of the value of this base class is in the
 * diagnostic_information() available via Boost.Exception.

/**
 * The point of LLContinueError is to distinguish exceptions that need not
 * terminate the whole viewer session. In general, an uncaught exception will
 * be logged and will crash the viewer. However, though an uncaught exception
 * derived from LLContinueError will still be logged, the viewer will attempt
 * to continue processing.
