[gobo-eiffel-develop] Multiple root elements in system.xace

[Berend de B. <be...@po...>]

Hello Guys,

It would be convenient for me if system.xace would allow multiple root
elements. 

The use case is this: print the exception message via a rescue clause on
the application's root class when compiled in boost mode; but still give
the full stack trace when compiled in debug mode.

However, SmartEiffel doesn't give a stack trace when you put in a rescue
clause, so you can only have a rescue clause on the creation routine
that is used in boost mode, and not in the creation one for debug mode.

So ideally system.xace would allow me to see:

  <root class="BP_EMAIL_TASK" creation="make_debug" if="${DEBUG}"/>
  <root class="BP_EMAIL_TASK" creation="make_rescue_debug" unless="${DEBUG}"/>

Is that easy to add?
