Views on Error Handling

In this post, I summarize some accomplished engineer’s views on error handling. There is a distinction between errors that are caused by programmer neglecting bugs and those that represent true error conditions. The granularity of error checking is also up for debate: Per function? Per module? Jump to dialog handler in the main message loop? Kill the process and restart?
