VC's C++ exception handling on x64 is table-based but still powered by SEH. Debug into a throw and you'll see VC's _CxxThrowException() call Windows' RaiseException(). Stephan T.

Visual C++ uses a different exception model that isn't implemented in LLVM.
I think that only applies to 32-bit VC++; their 64-bit compiler uses the same ABI as g++, IIUC.
VC++ did move from SEH to something similar to table based unwinding, but, AFAIK it is still quite different from DWARF tables format and not compatible. -- gpd _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
