+    @file Errors.cpp
+
+    @brief This file contains definitions of functions used for reporting critical application errors
+
+    It is very important that (std::)abort is NEVER called in place of *((volatile int*)NULL) = 0;
+    Calling abort() on Windows does not invoke unhandled exception filters - a mechanism used by WheatyExceptionReport
+    to log crashes. exit(1) calls here are for static analysis tools to indicate that calling functions defined in this file
+    terminates the application.
