Question

I’m using the GLUTesselator and every once in a while EndContour() fails so I did this:

         try
        {
            PolygonTesselator.End_Contour();
        }
        catch (int e)
        {
            renderShape = false;
            return;
        }

Why would it still crash, it should perform the catch code right?
How could I fix this?

Thanks

Two things :

• If you are under VC 6 or more recent, use __try{}__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER){} instead. It will catch the SE. try/catch only catches C++ exceptions
• I’ve had a hard time with GLU, so I can tell you this : if you can set the normal, SET IT. But otherwise, it’s true that it’s quite solid.
