<div dir="ltr">So, as I'm looking at this, thinking about trying to get it implemented by June, I came up with a question for the list. Does anyone feel strongly that we should follow the Visual C++ SEH approach or just make sure it is functional. Visual C++ uses a crazy fancy extended structure to make sure that everything goes back to the same function, but the operating system doesn't mandate that we take that approach.<div>

I was wondering what the current state of SEH and planned SEH support<br>
is. The things I've found in mailing list/forum history indicate that<br>
parsing and AST are now supported, but the back end is not in place.<br>
<br>
Is the problem a lack of implementation, or the referenced patent<br>
issues? Are there any paths forward identified? I know that C++<br>
exceptions work in user mode, but that won't cut it in Windows drivers.<br>

As far as I understand, from reading this mailing list, is that nothing will happen as long as there is a patent on the technology. But if I recall correctly that patent should end sometime this year.<span><font color="#888888"><br>
