Adam Furmanek explains the low-level internal mechanisms Windows and the CLR use to handle exceptions, including SEH and VEH.
You know how to throw and catch exception. But do you know how are they implemented internally? Do you know what is SEH, VEH and VCH in Windows? Or do you know why C# introduced exceptions filters or how to catch everything, even StackOverflowException? In this presentation I show internal mechanisms used by Windows for handling exceptions. We will see constructs used by C++ and C# languages, CLR instructions and machine code details of those. There will be some live debugging and low to high level code. Level 400, intense session. Check out more of our talks, courses, and conferences in the following links: ndcsydney.com/ ndcconferences.comWhat people say. Recommended as an excellent, deep-dive presentation on how exception handling works under the hood on Windows.
