Exceptions in Release mode

[devprash]

Hi,

Mine is a simple program of Try/Catch block. In try I generate exception by one of these(writing to invalid address/ divide by zero). I am catch for all exceptions (ellipse) and logging in catch block. I am using VS 2008 as my IDE.

In Debug mode it works fine. Catching the exception and graceful exit of program. But if I invoke program built in Release mode, exception is not handled crashing the program.

Any help would be appriciated.

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{

	try
	{
		printf("About to try\n");
		int j,i=20;
		j=i/0;
		*(char *)j = 0000;
		printf("Try done\n");
	}

	catch(...)
	{
		printf("Caught Exception\n");
	}

	printf("Waiting to stop\n");
	Sleep(5000);
	return 0;
}

Thanks

You have no throw.

Microsoft uses structured exceptions only. For example, the C++ throw is just a call to RaiseException.

Either a) use explicit structured exceptions or b) use explicit try/catch/throw in the C++.
