How can I disable VC++ breaking on a specific win32 exception type for a block of code?

Question

I'm embedding the JVM in my C++ application. When creating the VM, it generates a SEGV on startup to verify CPU/OS features.

This causes my debugger to break on this line of code. I know there is a "break when thrown" list and I can disable this exception type, but I still want it to break on legitimate segfaults, just not this one.

Is there a pragma or something I can use to tell VC++ to not catch Access Violation s for a line of code? Or is there some other kind of solution to this problem?

Answer 1

May be you can use __try {...} __except() statement.
