class OSD 
{
public:

  DEFINE_STANDARD_ALLOC

  //! Sets or removes signal and FPE (floating-point exception) handlers.
  //! OCCT signal handlers translate signals raised by C subsystem to C++
  //! exceptions inheriting Standard_Failure.
  //!
  //! ### Windows-specific notes
  //!
  //! Compiled with MS VC++ sets 3 main handlers:
  //! @li Signal handlers (via ::signal() functions) that translate system signals
  //! (SIGSEGV, SIGFPE, SIGILL) into C++ exceptions (classes inheriting
  //! Standard_Failure). They only be called if function ::raise() is called
  //! with one of supported signal type set.
  //! @li Exception handler OSD::WntHandler() (via ::SetUnhandledExceptionFilter())
  //! that will be used when user's code is compiled with /EHs option.
  //! @li Structured exception (SE) translator (via _set_se_translator()) that
  //! translates SE exceptions (aka asynchronous exceptions) into the
  //! C++ exceptions inheriting Standard_Failure. This translator will be
  //! used when user's code is compiled with /EHa option.
  //!
  //! This approach ensures that regardless of the option the user chooses to
  //! compile his code with (/EHs or /EHa), signals (or SE exceptions) will be
  //! translated into Open CASCADE C++ exceptions.
  //!
  //! MinGW should use SEH exception mode for signal handling to work.
  //!
  //! ### Linux-specific notes
  //!
  //! OSD::SetSignal() sets handlers (via ::sigaction()) for multiple signals
  //! (SIGFPE, SIGSEGV, etc).
  //!
  //! ### Common notes
  //!
  //! If @a theFloatingSignal is TRUE then floating point exceptions will
  //! generate SIGFPE in accordance with the mask
  //! - Windows: _EM_INVALID | _EM_DENORMAL | _EM_ZERODIVIDE | _EM_OVERFLOW,
  //!            see _controlfp() system function.
  //! - Linux:   FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW,
  //!            see feenableexcept() system function.
  //!
  //! If @a theFloatingSignal is FALSE then floating point calculations will gracefully
  //! complete regardless of occurred exceptions (e.g. division by zero).
  //! Otherwise the (thread-specific) FPE flags are set to raise signal if one of
  //! floating-point exceptions (division by zero, overflow, or invalid operation) occurs.
  //!
  //! The recommended approach is to call OSD::SetSignal() in the beginning of the 
  //! execution of the program, in function main() or its equivalent.
  //! In multithreaded programs it is advisable to call OSD::SetSignal() or
  //! OSD::SetThreadLocalSignal() with the same parameters in other threads where 
  //! OCCT is used, to ensure consistency of behavior.
  //!
  //! Note that in order to handle signals as C++ exceptions on Linux and under 
  //! MinGW on Windows it is necessary to compile both OCCT and application with
  //! OCC_CONVERT_SIGNALS macro, and use macro OCC_CATCH_SIGNALS within each try{}
  //! block that has to catch this kind of exceptions. 
  //! 
  //! Refer to documentation of Standard_ErrorHandler.hxx for details.
