    warning C4509: nonstandard extension used: 'a' uses SEH and 'b' has destructor

    Hi,
    I'm getting some of these warnings:
    Code:
    warning C4509: nonstandard extension used: 'a' uses SEH and 'b' has destructor
    The function uses calls to RpcTryExcept, RpcExcept, RpcEndExcept... but I need to use a RAII object in the function. I have no idea if or why those SEH functions are needed since I didn't write it, so I'd rather not remove them. Can I make SEH and RAII live together happily?

    Hmm.
    Well, all I can tell is that they don't work together:
    You should not use structured exception handling in functions that use objects with destructors. If an exception occurs, the destructor cannot be called. Use C++ exception handling instead.
