Can catch seg faults and kill signal in c/c++ using exception handling

8 New Member
Hi , All
I am a linux user.

As we all know using exception handling we can catch like divide by zero, floating point exception etc in C++. Can we catch a segmentation fault and kill signal using exception handling in C++. if this is possible then please provide me some code example to handle such situation.

Thanks and Regards

I'm pretty sure a seg fault is a run time error and is not part of the exception system. The OS denies access to memory and that causes the seg fault. When your application requests a memory allocation it should check those return values to make sure that the allocation was done properly. I think that is your only method of error recovery.

Greetings, I need to handle signals to close some excel applications that my script open, when the script is killed by another process. My script is a little bit complex, but I wrote just two very small scripts to test the kill and signal. The scripts signal.pl is this one: map {$SIG{$_} = sub {my $n = shift; print "n=$n\n"}} keys %SIG;

Which is best approach? Should Try + Catch be used to only deal with "catastrophic" events (like divide by zero, non-existant file, etc...etc...) Or should Try + Catch be used IN PLACE of regular defensive programming? (ie if file exists do this, if not do something else) Or should Try + Catch be used TO SUPPLAMENT regular defensive programming?

Hi, I'm coming over from Java to C++, so please bear with me. In C++, is there a way for me to use exceptions to catch segmentation faults (e.g. when I access a location off the end of an array)? Thanks.

When employing complex UI libs (wx, win32ui, ..) and other extension libs, nice "only Python stack traces" remain a myth. Currently I'm hunting again a rare C-level crash bug of a Python based Windows app with rare user reports - and still in the dark (I get snippets of machine stack traces / screenshots with random "mem. access error" / "python caused the runtime to terminate in an unusual way" / ..)

Dear all, Some background first: I have a gtk window where my user pushes some buttons with a definite pleasure. It usually amounts to asking the program to try all possible permutations which can take a long time... and in between my user wants to change some parameters, or simply wants to stop. Regularly this programm outputs some messages corresponding to its state.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
