MadExcept is an add-on for Embarcadero’s Delphi and C++Builder IDEs that hooks into an application's exception handling to produce rich crash reports. The BPL (Borland Package Library) format allows MadExcept to be loaded as a runtime package, making it easy to add to projects without altering core source code extensively. When included, MadExcept intercepts unhandled exceptions, gathers context (stack traces, CPU registers, loaded modules, threads, and relevant run-time data), and displays an informative dialog to users while optionally sending reports back to developers.

: Developers link it into their executables or distribute it as a .bpl (Borland Package Library) so they can debug issues reported by end-users. Common Issues and Symptoms MadExcept is an add-on for Embarcadero’s Delphi and
When a project grows, developers often split their code into multiple BPL packages. This allows for:
When an application crashes or throws a critical exception, madExcept automatically generates an in-depth bug report. This report includes: Standalone Executable (Monolithic) Here are the top features
