Fatal signal handling can be disabled with a CMake option: `ENABLE_FATAL_SIGNALHANDLING`. See [Options.cmake](https://github.com/KjellKod/g3log/blob/master/Options.cmake) for more details
### <a name="PID1">PID1 Fatal Signal Recommendations</a>
If you are using g3log on a PID1 process then you absolutely should provide your own signal handling (ref: [issue 269](https://github.com/KjellKod/g3log/issues/269)) as g3log re-emits the fatal signal after it has restored the previous signal handler for that signal. PID1 processed do *not* shutdown the process for a normal fatal signal so the choice to exit the PID1 process after such a signal must be taken by the coder - not by g3log.
### <a name="fatal_handling_windows">Windows</a>
Windows fatal handling also deals with fatal signals just like Linux. In addition to fatal signals it also deals with unhandled exceptions, vectored exceptions. Windows fatal handling is handled in [crashhandler.hpp](src/g3log/crashhandler.hpp), [crashhandler_windows.cpp](src/crashhandler_windows.cpp), [stacktrace_windows.hpp](src/g3log/stacktrace_windows.hpp), [stacktrace_windows.cpp](src/stacktrace_windows.cpp)
