Try-catch works with structured exception

Hello everyone,

I have tested try-catch works with structured exception, to my surprise.
Previously I think we have to use __try and __except.

Any comments? Here is my test code and I am using Visual Studio 2008.

[Code]
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int* address = NULL;

try{

(*address) = 1024;
} catch (...)
{
cout << "access violation caught" << endl;
}
return 0;
}
[/Code]

thanks in advance,
George

Have you tried testing that in in a release build?
