Cathing (and viewing) the uncaught exception.

Hey,

I am working on a DLL to integrate with a server written by a partner company. And I am running into some trouble. Anyways, somewhere in my code, an exception is being thrown (but only when it is run in a multi-threaded environment) I have set up a try{}catch(...){} block to catch the exception, but I am getting nowhere and REALY want to see what the exception that is being thrown is. Is there a way to get the exception?

Thanks,

Joey

At a guess, you're using a Windows system. What compiler are you using? On Visual C++, you could invoke the debugger in the catch with 'DebugBreak();' or '__asm { int 3};

If you are using Solaris, you can stop on the throw instructions. There is something very similar on the HPUX debugger.

Hey,

Yeah, Windows with Visual C++ 6. That is part of the problem. The Exception is only thrown when used in the client app (which I don't have source for) or is there some way, I can run the client app, with the DLL in the debugger?
