... Oh, ok. I just figured that "termination" means "user-friendly program exit".

All my main() functions look the same:

Code:

int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{
	using namespace std;
	try {
		return main_program(argc,argv);
	}
	catch (runtime_error& e) {
		cerr << RED << "Run-time error : " << e.what() << NORMAL << endl;
	}
	catch (bad_alloc&) {
		statusFailed();
		cerr << RED << "Out of memory." << NORMAL << endl;
	}
	catch (exception& e) {
		cerr << RED << "Exception : " << e.what() << NORMAL << endl;
	}
	catch (...) {
		cerr << RED << "Unknown error" << NORMAL << endl;
	}
	return 1;
}

Then main_program takes the role of the main function.
