Visual C++ Exception-Handling Instrumentation
By Eugene Gershnik, December 01, 2002
Here's an approach to handling exceptions in Visual C++ 6.0 and .NET. By using just a few lines of code, all the exceptions can be properly reported, regardless of what libraries you use and what C++ exceptions they throw.

Listing 6 Usage of GetCurrentExceptionRecord() (compile with /EHa)
void gpf()
{
char * p = 0;
p[6] = 'a';
}
int main()
{
try
{
gpf();
}
catch(...)
{
const EXCEPTION_RECORD * pr = GetCurrentExceptionRecord();
if (pr && pr->ExceptionCode != CPP_EXCEPTION)
{
std::cout << "SEH Exception with code "
<< std::hex
<< pr->ExceptionCode
<< std::dec
<< " occured at "
<< pr->ExceptionAddress
<< "\n";
}
}
return 0;
}
