Why SetUnhandledExceptionFilter cannot capture some exception but AddVectoredExceptionHandler can do

Question

I have experienced a problem that the function I passed to the SetUnhandledExceptionFilter didn\'t get called when the exception code c0000374 raising. But it works fine wit

Answer 1

It happens because of this code in MSVC CRT startup:

    /*
     * Enable app termination when heap corruption is detected on
     * Windows Vista and above. This is a no-op on down-level OS's
     * and enabled by default for 64-bit processes.
     */

    if (!_NoHeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption)
    {
        HeapSetInformation(NULL, HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption, NULL, 0);
    }

If you want to disable it (not recommended), link nohetoc.obj to your program.
