From: root@jacob.remcomp.fr (root) Subject: Exception handling 10 Nov 1996 05:11:07 -0800 Sender: daemon@cygnus.com Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Content-Type: text Original-To: gnu-win32@cygnus.com Content-Length: 1355 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com I would like to know how does cygnus setup its exception handling mechanism: how does one manipulate the %fs:0 pointer? I have modified lcc to emit MSVC compatible exception handling code so that __try { some untrusted code } __except(etc etc) works. Now I need to know what should I do at startup to establish the top level exception handler. Somehow you must have done it since I have seen a lot of 'backtrace' output in the messages here. Is there any doc for it? Any specific source file to look for? I looked in ftp.cygnus.com and 80MB of stuff scared me away! (I have a 14000 baud modem!). Thanks in advance for any help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Another subject: I have worked a lot in the headers for WIN32. I brought the size of the headers from 650K to 450K, adding at the same time thousands of definitions, correcting typos, etc etc. I would like to upload a "windows.h" file that makes 450K. Since I do not have cygnus, I suppose it works with gcc, but I can't test it. Is there any specific place where I can upload it? I would like that the whole community benefits from my work.
