 Hello,

 I am writing my own __FPC_specific_handler() but I can't figure out
 when this function is registered. I guess this function is registered to
 the OS to be invoked when an exception happens. In the assembler code I
 have something like:

 .seh_handler __FPC_specific_handler,@unwind

 But I am puzzled by "@unwind". How is __FPC_specific_handler() invoked

You are right but I was a bit strong headed.

Thanks

I think I suggested some time ago already that you should use the embedded
targets for writing a kernel. That's what they're there for after all.

Thanks for the answer, I am trying to make work the exceptions handling in
Toro kernel. Currently Toro is based on Win64 rtl. I think I will give up
with the Win64 RTL and move to a simpler RTL.

To understand the .seh_*-pseudo instructions it's probably best to look at
their initial check-in in the GNU assembler:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-08/msg00193.html

The handler function is invoked by Windows when an exception happens inside
the code that is governed by the surrounding (implicit) .seh_(end)proc
directives.

Why are you writing your own handler?

Sven
