Coming back to life after Segmentation Violation

Question

Is it possible to restore the normal execution flow of a C program, after the Segmentation Fault error?

struct A {
    int x;
};
A* a = 0;

a->x = 123; /         


        

Answer 1

You can use the SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() function (in windows), but even to be able to skip the "illegal" instruction you will need to be able to decode some assembler opcodes. And, as glowcoder said, even if it would "comment out" in runtime the instructions that generates segfaults, what will be left from the original program logic (if it may be called so)? Everything is possible, but it doesn't mean that it has to be done.
