 * \internal
 * The association is done with a templated non-member operator of exactly this
 * form to make the simple syntax of GMX_THROW() possible.  To support this,
 * this operation needs to:
 *  - Allow setting information in a temporary to support
 *    `GMX_THROW(InvalidInputError(ex))`.  This is the reason for taking a
 *    const reference and the `const_cast`.
 *  - Return the same reference it takes in, instead of a base class.
 *    The compiler needs this information to throw the correct type of
 *    exception.  This would be tedious to achieve with a member function
 *    (without a lot of code duplication).
 *  - Provide convenient syntax for adding multiple items.  A non-member
 *    function that would require nested calls would look ugly for such cases.
 *
 * The reason for the enable_if is that this way, it does not conflict with
 * other overloads of `operator<<` for ExceptionInfo objects, in case someone
 * would like to declare those.  But currently we do not have such overloads, so
 * if the enable_if causes problems with some compilers, it can be removed.

/*! \brief
 * Macro for catching exceptions at C++ -> C boundary.
 *
 * This macro is intended for uniform handling of exceptions when C++ code is
 * called from C code within Gromacs.  Since most existing code is written
 * using the assumption that fatal errors terminate the program, this macro
 * implements this behavior for exceptions.  It should only be used in cases
 * where the error cannot be propagated upwards using return values or such.
 *
 * Having this as a macro instead of having the same code in each place makes
 * it easy to 1) find all such locations in the code, and 2) change the exact
 * behavior if needed.
 *
 * Usage:
   \code
   try
   {
       // C++ code
   }
   GMX_CATCH_ALL_AND_EXIT_WITH_FATAL_ERROR;
   \endcode
