Configuring Exception Support

The method you use to access these control panel options will depend on the operating system you are running.

To use RTX64 structured exception handling for all exception types, select the Use Structured Exception Handling box. To turn off Structured Exception Handling, click to clear the Use Structured Exception Handling box.

The ability to freeze a faulting process is useful during development and debugging of your application. If a process is frozen the user is responsible for terminating the process.

Select an option for how the subsystem behaves when a faulting process occurs:

• Freeze the Faulting Process allows you to freeze the process and keep its image for debugging.
• Terminate the Faulting Process causes all faulting processes to terminate.
• Halt System and Dump Memory causes RTX64 to return the exception context to Windows, display a green screen with debug information, and start a memory dump.

IMPORTANT! The Halt System and Dump Memory option is not compatible with debugging. In order to debug an RTSS application, you must select the Use Structured Exception Handling box.
