Just been looking at this, and trying to thing of how to catch in the
debugger.
From a very brief look at the sources (please correct me, if I got it
wrong, or missed anything)
An error handler is installed to the OS, the handler is
function syswin32_i386_exception_handler(excep : PExceptionPointers) :
Longint;stdcall;
This handler returns instructions (ignore, or alternative instruction
pointer) to the OS ?
If this exception is handled it goes to JumpToHandleErrorFrame ?
Then in there the "longjmp" is triggered, and presumingly goes to the
"except" block ?
If so, how can the debugger get notified (before the longjmp), in a way,
that it can get the address where the problem occurred?
with raise exception the debugger can set a breakpoint, because raise
exception is defined [public alias ...] so the debugger can read the
address by knowing the name.
But the new code does not have that....
