Generally speaking, in crypto we prefer not to report why an operation failed. For instance, in DSA, we should return false for any operation error.

Zan, you'll take care of making the corresponding changes in the GCrypt implementation?

Yes.

Probably there is even no need for passing exceptionCallbacks to platformVerify. This change needs to address issues in both Apple and GTK+ ports.
