Critical problem exception handling

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

detecting, by one or more processing units, an occurrence of a certain type of critical problem exception during an execution of an application, the critical problem exception resulting in a termination of the application;

instructing, by one or more processing units, to call a Super Handling Routine (SHR) corresponding to the type of the critical problem exception at a pre-configured address based on a pre-determined context registered by the application, the SHR being configured to handle critical problem exceptions;

handling, by one or more processing units, control to the SHR to handle the type of the critical problem exception;

receiving, by one or more processing units, a result of handling the critical problem exception from the SHR, wherein the result indicates at least one action;

executing, by one or more processing units, the at least one action,

wherein the at least one action indicates a request for additional memory, and the execution of the at least one action comprising:

allocating, by one or more processing units, additional memory to the application from available memory; and

notifying, by one or more processing units, a failure of the SHR critical problem exception handling by issuing an alert.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transferring, by one or more processing units, a context of the critical problem exception to the SHR.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one action indicates a termination of an invoked application, and the execution of the at least one action comprising:

issuing, by one or more processing units, an instruction to drive the termination of the invoked application.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one action indicates a return to a specific caller, and the execution of the at least one action comprising:

restoring, by one or more processing units, a context of the specific caller;

retrieving, by one or more processing units, an address of the specific caller; and

returning, by one or more processing units, the application to the address of the specific caller with a predefined value.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the critical problem exception being one of the following:

a new exception occurs during handling a previous exception;

an infinite exception loop caused by interactions between two applications during handling a previous exception; or

an out of memory exception occurs during handling a previous exception.

6. A computer-implemented apparatus, comprising:

a critical problem checker, configured to detect an occurrence of a certain type of critical problem exception during an execution of an application, the critical problem exception resulting in a termination of the application;

an exception super handling controller, responsive to the occurrence of the critical problem exception, configured to instruct to call a Super Handling Routine (SHR) corresponding to the type of the critical problem exception at a pre-configured address based on a pre-determined context registered by the application;

handling control to the SHR to handle the type of the critical problem exception, wherein the SHR is configured to handle critical problem exceptions;

receiving a result of handling the critical problem exception from the SHR, wherein the result indicates at least one action;

executing, by one or more processing units, the at least one action,

wherein the at least one action indicates a request for additional memory, and the execution of the at least one action comprising:

allocating, by one or more processing units, additional memory to the application from available memory; and

notifying, by one or more processing units, a failure of the SHR critical problem exception handling by issuing an alert.

7. The computer-implemented apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the exception super handling controller is further configured to:

transfer a context of the critical problem exception to the SHR.

8. The computer-implemented apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one action indicates a termination of an invoked application, and the exception super handling controller is further configured to:

issue an instruction to drive the termination of the invoked application.

9. The computer-implemented apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the at least one action indicates a return to a specific caller, and the exception super handling controller is further configured to:

restore a context of the specific caller;

retrieve an address of the specific caller; and

return the application to the address of the specific caller with a predefined value.

10. The computer-implemented apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the critical problem exception being one of the following:

a new exception occurs during handling a previous exception;

an infinite exception loop caused by interactions between two applications during handling a previous exception; or

an out of memory exception occurs during handling a previous exception.

11. A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage having program codes embodied therewith, the program codes comprising:

program codes to detect an occurrence of a certain type of critical problem exception during an execution of an application, the critical problem exception resulting in a termination of the application;

program codes to responsive to the occurrence of the critical problem exception, instruct to call a Super Handling Routine (SHR) corresponding to the type of the critical problem exception at a pre-configured address based on a pre-determined context registered by the application, the SHR being configured to handle critical problem exceptions;

program codes to handling control to the SHR to handle the type of the critical problem exception;

program codes to receiving a result of handling the critical problem exception from the SHR, wherein the result indicates at least one action;

program codes to executing the at least one action,

wherein the at least one action indicates a request for additional memory, and the execution of the at least one action comprising:

program codes to allocating additional memory to the application from available memory; and

program codes to notifying a failure of the SHR critical problem exception handling by issuing an alert.

12. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the program codes further comprising:

program codes to transfer a context of the critical problem exception to the SHR.

13. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the at least one action indicates a termination of an invoked application, and the program codes further comprising:

program codes to issue an instruction to drive the termination of the invoked application.

14. The computer program product of claim 11 , wherein the at least one action indicates a return to a specific caller, and the program codes further comprising:

program codes to restore a context of the specific caller;

program codes to retrieve an address of the specific caller; and

program codes to return the application to the address of the specific caller with a predefined value.
