Catching “Stack Overflow” exceptions in recursive C++ functions

Question

Is it possible to catch a stack overflow exception in a recursive C++ function? If so, how?

so what will happen in this case

void doWork         


        

Answer 1

In Windows you can use structured exception handling (SEH), with __try and __except keywords to install your own exception handler routine that can catch stack overflows, access violation, etc etc.

It's pretty neat to avoid Windows' default crash dialog, and replace it with your own, if you need to.
