By "parsing", you mean recognizing Microsoft's extended try/catch syntax?  I'm pretty certain that's not patentable — well, who knows what you can get a patent office to grant, but I don't see anything in that patent which even tries to cover the syntax, and since it's basically exactly like a host of similar try/catch syntaxes, many of which predate SEH, we should be pretty well covered anyway.

John.
