AFAIK _C_ SEH (not like _C++_) is a thing specific to MS compiler.
No such thing in C standard.
C++ try/catch is in the standard, certainly.

I think you misunderstood my comments. I never meant to imply that SEH was
part of Standard C. Obviously, SEH is a thing specific to *Windows*
compilers -- C, C++, or other.
All I meant to point out that the ability to use the C++ "catch(...)" syntax
to handle an SEH exception is a thing specific to *Microsoft* C++ compilers
for Windows.
Perhaps there are other compilers that also support this ability, but mine
doesn't. Some compilers do not allow the intermixing of SEH and C++
exception-handling at all.
Personally, regardless of any "neat tricks" provided by your compiler, I
would recommend always sticking to SEH syntax when dealing with SEH
exceptions, just for clarity.
