Hi,

Has anyone had any success trapping access violations on Windows and 
changing them into D exceptions? I created a function and passed it to 
SetUnhandledExceptionFilter, but my exception filter never triggered on 
the access violation.

Thanks,
Robert

They already are, IIRC.  They might not be converted to Exceptions, though, 
but I know you can catch them with catch(Object).

Oh you're right! Thanks! Any way to make it throw an Exception (since 
I'm adding trace hooks to the Exception constructor)?

Oops, never mind, it _is_ an exception. Now to figure out why it won't 
trace...
