SetUnhandledExceptionFilter

[z00mit]

Hi Guys,

Have a question regarding the exception filter.

I have a MiniDump class which looks like this:

class MiniDumpHelper
{
public:

MiniDumpHelper( )
{
...
}


LONG WINAPI exitWithDump(st ruct _EXCEPTION_POIN TERS* exceptionInfo)
{
...
return EXCEPTION_CONTI NUE_SEARCH;
}
}

then i have a host.cpp class where i have a main()
I try this:

MiniDump *miniDump = new MiniDump();
SetUnhandledExc eptionFilter(mi niDump->exitWithDump );

Then I get this:

error C3867: 'MiniDump::exit WithDump': function call missing argument list;
use '&MiniDump::exi tWithDump' to create a pointer to member

So I do:

MiniDump *miniDump = new MiniDump();
SetUnhandledExc eptionFilter(&M iniDump::exitWi thDump);

And I get this:

'SetUnhandledEx ceptionFilter' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'LONG (__stdcall :MiniDump::* )
(_EXCEPTION_POI NTERS *)' to 'LPTOP_LEVEL_EX CEPTION_FILTER'



I'm really stuck, would really appreciate help, thanks in advance!!

SetUnhandledExc eptionFilter is a C function, can can not pass a pointer to a class member function as a function pointer in this manor to a C function, or indeed any function that requires a pointer to a function as a parameter.

exitWithDump will have either not be a member of the class or be a static member of the classed referenced through the class name rather than an object.

Hi banfa,

Thanks so much for your help.
What would you advise me to do in this case?

Hard to say since I don't really know what you are doing or what the purpose of your helper class is meant to be but I would look at making exitWithDump a static member of your class and see if you can make it work that way.
