I think generic 'windows sample' is _not_ about null pointer dereference
Actually there's another problem. In WinMain, this line:
catch (Exception e) // catch any uncaught exceptions
should be:
catch (Throwable e) // catch any uncaught exceptions
That way when a null is dereferenced you'll have the exception caught
and get a nice error message. That's what this sample was supposed to
demonstrate. I'll have it updated and make a pull.
Makes sense. I'd better stop arguing this cause, and read more on that
awesome DIP11 ;)
(though arguably one can consider Windows as a whole an example on GP
fault and null pointer dereference in particular).
I don't follow.
nvm, a pun that apparently out of date.
