    Handle C++ exception and structured exception together

    Hello everyone,


    I am learning set_se_translator, and there are some good resources about how to translate structured exception into C++ exception, like,

    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cpp/seexception.aspx

    1.

    What makes me confused is, when we are talking about translate, it means both structured exception and C++ exception may occur in a C++ program, right?

    2.

    But from build option, we can select either /EHa or /EHsc, means we can only select one type of exception, either asynchronous (structured) or synchronous (C++ exception).

    (1) and (2) are conflict?


    thanks in advance,
    George

    No, you misunderstand the build option. The build option is about whether it should catch SEs with a C++ catch and what assumptions the compiler can make.

    Thanks CornedBee,


    I have read through the link and I think it means both exceptions (structured and C++) exist in C++ application, and /EHa or /EHsc does not determine whether they exist or not, and only determine whether we handle structured or C++ exception, right?
