Can some please explain why this exception isn’t caught.

try {
    // This will cause an exception
    char *p = 0;
    char x = 0;
    *p = x;
}
catch (...) {
    int a = 0;
}

When I run the program it dies on the line *p = x. I would expect that the catch block would cause this exception to be ignored.

I’m using the Qt Creator (2.2) with Qt 4.7.2 compiling with Visual Studios 2008 on Windows 7 32 bit.

    Structured exception handling __try and __catch will catch system faults, see:
