How to use try/catch block in driver...

Hello,

How does one handle exceptions in device drivers. My driver is a hybrid C/C++ driver {Meaning the modules are .cpp and have a “extern ‘c’” around the code which needs the C namespace…

How do you get BUILD to build with C++ exceptions enabled?

The world of Kernel Mode programming has it’s own SEH. Look for
try/exception in the DDK.

Sorry, you just can’t use C++ exception handling in kernel-mode.
The runtime support is in libraries that have user-mode API dependencies.
As mentioned before, you can use structured exception handling, but the
effect is not quite the same.
