Do you mean things like assert() and abort() calls? Those are abnormal  
situations and internal compiler errors, not indicators of a problem  
in the user's source. If you really want to catch them and do  
something, you could install a signal handler for SIGABRT, I suppose,  
and do whatever you want there.
