pub const EXCEPTION_ESCAPED: &str = "exception.escaped";Expand description
SHOULD be set to true if the exception event is recorded at a point where it is known that the exception is escaping the scope of the span.
§Notes
An exception is considered to have escaped (or left) the scope of a span,
if that span is ended while the exception is still logically “in flight”.
This may be actually “in flight” in some languages (e.g. if the exception
is passed to a Context manager’s __exit__ method in Python) but will
usually be caught at the point of recording the exception in most languages.
It is usually not possible to determine at the point where an exception is thrown whether it will escape the scope of a span. However, it is trivial to know that an exception will escape, if one checks for an active exception just before ending the span, as done in the example for recording span exceptions.
It follows that an exception may still escape the scope of the span
even if the exception.escaped attribute was not set or set to false,
since the event might have been recorded at a time where it was not
clear whether the exception will escape
