Taken from MSDN (see fair use) here is the msdn example page. -- The following example demonstrates C++ exception handling using classes with destructor semantics. It declares two C++ classes; one (class CTest) for defining the exception object itself, and the second (class CDtorDemo) for demonstrating the destruction of a separate frame object during stack unwinding: Example // exceptions_Exception_Examples.cpp // compile with: /EHsc #include using namespace std; void MyFunc( void ); class CTest { public: CTest(){}; ~CTest(){}; const char *ShowReason() const { return "Exception in CTest class."; } }; class CDtorDemo { public: CDtorDemo(); ~CDtorDemo(); }; CDtorDemo::CDtorDemo() { cout << "Constructing CDtorDemo." << endl; } CDtorDemo::~CDtorDemo() { cout << "Destructing CDtorDemo." << endl; } void MyFunc() { CDtorDemo D; cout<< "In MyFunc(). Throwing CTest exception." << endl; throw CTest(); } int main() { cout << "In main." << endl; try { cout << "In try block, calling MyFunc()." << endl; MyFunc(); } catch( CTest E ) { cout << "In catch handler." << endl; cout << "Caught CTest exception type: "; cout << E.ShowReason() << endl; } catch( char *str ) { cout << "Caught some other exception: " << str << endl; } cout << "Back in main. Execution resumes here." << endl; return 0; } If a matching catch handler is found, and it catches by value, its formal parameter is initialized by copying the exception object. If it catches by reference, the parameter is initialized to refer to the exception object. After the formal parameter is initialized, the process of "unwinding the stack" begins. This involves the destruction of all automatic objects that were constructed (but not yet destructed) between the beginning of the try block associated with the catch handler and the exception's throw site. Destruction occurs in reverse order of construction. The catch handler is executed and the program resumes execution following the last handler (that is, the first statement or construct that is not a catch handler). Output In main. In try block, calling MyFunc(). Constructing CDtorDemo. In MyFunc(). Throwing CTest exception. Destructing CDtorDemo. In catch handler. Caught CTest exception type: Exception in CTest class. Back in main. Execution resumes here. Note the declaration of the exception parameter in both catch handlers: catch( CTest E ) { // ... } catch( char *str ) { // ... } You do not need to declare this parameter; in many cases it may be sufficient to notify the handler that a particular type of exception has occurred. However, if you do not declare an exception object in the exception declaration, you will not have access to the object in the catch handler clause. For example: catch( CTest ) { // No access to a CTest exception object in this handler. } A throw expression with no operand re-throws the exception currently being handled. Such an expression should appear only in a catch handler or in a function called from within a catch handler. The re-thrown exception object is the original exception object (not a copy). For example: try { throw CSomeOtherException(); } catch(...) // Handle all exceptions { // Respond (perhaps only partially) to exception //... throw; // Pass exception to some other handler } __ Do You Yahoo!?

Although this may duplicate effort, I am familiar with several strange combinations of exception handling that I know work with Visual C++ 6.0; I will put them a test program for you. You can never have too many test programs, right?

I compiled the program and sent it to Alexandre. I modified the program to not use iostreamsn so that I would not have to link with msvcirt.dll. I compiled with Visual C++ 6.0 in Release mode and checked that it crashes (badly) when using the builtin msvcrt. #include #include int main() { try { printf("Hello World!\n"); throw "fault"; return 1; } catch (...) { printf("Caught the exception\n"); } return 0; } trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c53f0 code=c096 flags=10 trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 2 trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c53f0 code=c096 flags=10 trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 2 trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler calling handler at 0x400c53f0 code=c096 flags=10 trace:seh:EXC_CallHandler handler returned 2 [... ad infinitum ...] -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED]http://fgouget.free.fr/ Linux: the choice of a GNU generation

Re: CxxFrameHandler problem
Hmm, I think these FIXME messages should be considered as a real FIXME. The application might throw a exception and catch it later as a normal behaviour. As long as our implementation of CxxFrameHandler does not behave right is has to be fixed.

However out CxxFrameHandler implementation normally makes the real culprit very hard to find. Nearly never a good backtrace is produced when CxxFrameHandler is involved, sometimes the backtrace goes in a loo or something else happens. To make builtin msvcrt usable or even debugable, we need a working CxxFrameHandler implementation. I looked at http://www.thecodeproject.com/cpp/Exceptionhandler.asp, but I didn't feel like implementing it...

CxxFrameHandler problem
If anyone is working on the CxxFrameHandler I have two applications I have been working on that may help in testing/tracking down the problems. Currently both WinCVS and geoshell suffer from this problem. Both applications are GPL so if you need to look at the source to find out what is going on you can. fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40473df4,0x40585e54,0x40473a80,0x40473a1c):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40473a20,0x40585e54,0x404736ac,0x40473648):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x4047364c,0x40585e54,0x404732d8,0x40473274):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40473278,0x40585e54,0x40472f04,0x40472ea0):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40472ea4,0x40585e54,0x40472b30,0x40472acc):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40472ad0,0x40585e54,0x4047275c,0x404726f8):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x404726fc,0x40585e54,0x40472388,0x40472324):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40472328,0x40585e54,0x40471fb4,0x40471f50):stub? fixme:msvcrt:__CxxFrameHandler (0x40471f54,0x40585e54,0x40471be0,0x40471b7c):stub? __ Do You Yahoo!?
