try/catch at the compiler level only know about C++ exceptions, not any
machine-specific exceptions. If you only need them for C++ purposes, then
you should be able to use them with no problem, but if you're trying to do
something like how VC++ lets you "catch" an operating system error, you're
out of luck.
