P.S. I implemented Structured Exception Handling for Win32, with help from a couple very smart people. Microsoft completely changed it for Win64, and the documentation on it is completely unhelpful to nonexistent.[1] I simply gave up on it. D on Win64 uses the exception handling mechanism I invented for the 32 bit DOS extender from the old Zortech days. It works fine, except that it cannot interact with C++ exceptions thrown by VC++ code.

[1] I attended a presentation on it by MS soon after Win64 came out. All I could think of at the end was "what's a cubit". I understood exactly nothing about it.

Ah, Zortech C++. That indeed brings back some memories.

Walter, what do you think about Herb Sutter "new" C++ exceptions (which is basically about throwing an int/a word) ?

If there's anyone who can think of a better way, it's Herb. I'd take anything he has to say about C++ very very seriously.
