Hi everybody!
We are not able to use the debugger with some of our applications, and I
found why. The following test app:
#include <stdio.h>
void main()
{
int* p = NULL;
__try
{
printf("in try\n");
*p = 1;
}
__except(1)
{
printf("in except\n");
}
}
will work fine when running under wine, but if you start the application with the
debugger, it will stop on a page fault exception.
I think the problem is that DEBUG_HandleException is called, but the condition
if (first_chance && !Options.debug && !force ) return 0; /* pass to app first */
is false (Options.debug == 1), so the app does not get the exception first and the
debugger think we have a page fault. Is there a way to know we are in a __try /
__except context? Do you have any ideas how to get it working?
In our apps, we are using this __try / __except mechanism to find if the application
is running on a Katmai style processor by calling Katmai-specific assembly calls,
which result in exception on non-Katmai processors...
Any ideas?
David
