try/catch versus runtime error dialog

Hi all,

Maybe someone can help me with this:

My C++ project contains try and catch blocks. A catch-all block triggers my
custom message box with some information on the error caught. The stacktrace
is written to a log file. While stepping through my application from within
the IDE everything works fine. However, when i start my application outside
the IDE (which is an MS Outlook plugin, by the way) i receive this annoying
"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" error dialog telling me of a "Runtime
Error!". It seems that my catch block is ignored!

A google search, unfortunately, only turned up a reference to the function
set_terminate() which allows me to redirect the exception handling before,
again, this runtime dialog fires.

Is there a method (compiler switches, Macros, includes, library imports
whatever) which prevents this ugly message box to appear?

regards,

Lennart

....setting -EHa compiler option and including #include <excpt.h> did the job.

Hey all, I'd like to start using the try/catch construct in some scripts. Older browsers don't support this. What's the best way to test for support for this construct so it doesn't kill non-supporting browsers? TIA -- --

Wierd situation here. Running ASP.NET 1.1 on Win2003. I have to manually attach the debugger to a process in order to debug. So I set a breakpoint in an obvious place (like within the Page.Load event) that will catch it. For Win2003, I attach to the w3wp.exe process. I've made sure my project is building as DEBUG. I've made sure the breakpoint it reachable. I've made sure my web.config has debug=true. But when I run through the...

Normally the debugger (visual studio .net environment) is good at pointing out the line of code that caused an exception.... except when that code is executed as part of a timer handler. In the case of the code below the exception is handled by a little dialog that tries to tell me how to switch on jitDebugging. (which, if I am doing it correctly doesn't seem to help). All three options are checked under...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
