BOINC applications can call
<pre>
boinc_init_diagnostics(int flags)
</pre>
to initialize various diagnostic functions.
<b>This call should be made early in the program - before boinc_init() -
so that error info is routed appopriately.</b>
<code>flags</code> is formed by or'ing together
a subset of the following flags:
<pre>
#define BOINC_DIAG_DUMPCALLSTACKENABLED 0x00000001L
#define BOINC_DIAG_HEAPCHECKENABLED 0x00000002L
#define BOINC_DIAG_MEMORYLEAKCHECKENABLED 0x00000004L
#define BOINC_DIAG_ARCHIVESTDERR 0x00000008L
#define BOINC_DIAG_ARCHIVESTDOUT 0x00000010L
#define BOINC_DIAG_REDIRECTSTDERR 0x00000020L
#define BOINC_DIAG_REDIRECTSTDOUT 0x00000040L
#define BOINC_DIAG_REDIRECTSTDERROVERWRITE 0x00000080L
#define BOINC_DIAG_REDIRECTSTDOUTOVERWRITE 0x00000100L
#define BOINC_DIAG_TRACETOSTDERR 0x00000200L
#define BOINC_DIAG_TRACETOSTDOUT 0x00000400L
</pre>
The flags are as follows.
Applications are advised to use at least
BOINC_DIAG_DUMPCALLSTACKENABLED,
BOINC_DIAG_REDIRECTSTDERR,
and BOINC_DIAG_TRACETOSTDERR.
