Exception handling
|
|
|
| Given the code:
int main()
{
try
{
int* p = 0;
*p = 0; // Cause access violation
}
catch (...)
{
puts("Caught access violation");
}
return 0;
}
If without try/catch in the code, will it pops up a Microsoft warning
messagebox of bug? With try/catch, should it not pop up such an exception
messagebox?
However, my test shows that it doesn't pop up the exception messagebox in
Debug build, but shows in Release build. Could someone have an explanantion
of this? Thanks in advance!

Thanks, I did read it.
My questions are more basic...
1. Is it correct that the general purpose of using "try/catch" is to make
sure that when an exception does occur, no Windows exception warning
messagebox will pop up?
2. The above code didn't pop up the box is due to the setting in the project
that causes a Structured Exception to be caught as a C++ exception. Is this
a correct understanding?
