Catching hardware exceptions using C++ exceptions

Author	Message
Kurt De Marc #1 / 6	Catching hardware exceptions using C++ exceptions Hello, can somebody tell me, how to catch and identify hardware or OS exceptions, e. g. access violation, using the C++ exception model. I know that I can catch those witch catch (...), but how can I identify the cause for the exception. I found nothing about it in the MSDN docs, except for the older SEH model, but it seems that it is not possible to mix SEH and C++ exceptions. Any hints or links are welcome. Thank you. Kurt

Rob Pit #2 / 6	Catching hardware exceptions using C++ exceptions Hardware exceptions are caught by Win32 SEH which is a distinct thing from C++ exception handling. You can however use _set_se_translator() function to map a hardware exception into a C++ object exception. Search for _set_se_translator() for more info.

Kurt De Marc #3 / 6	Catching hardware exceptions using C++ exceptions Hi Rob, thanx for the good hint. I had a look at the documentation for _set_se_translator(). It seems like that's what I am looking for. Do you know of any pitfalls using it in a highly multithreaded application? Regards, Kurt

Rob Pit #6 / 6	Catching hardware exceptions using C++ exceptions Its fine providing you link to the multithread C++ runtime (which you should already be doing). Rob Hi Rob, thanx for the good hint.
