un-catched segfault exception

[philippe.quesnel]

ok, it seems this is a Windows vs 'Unix' difference...
actually, more like a "Windows type" compiler vs GNU / 'Unix' compiler !

a simple C++ app that tries to write to a NULL ptr :
On Windows :
 - compiled w. MsDev6 : the 'exception' is "catch"ed
 - compiled w. mingw32 C++ : seg faults
  (same w. cygwin)

So depending on the compiler, the behaviour is different.

AND .. same difference between GDC & DMD !!
(as Jarrett mentionned)
the same code (Windows again) ..
 + compiled w. gdc does not catch the 'exception', (segfault)
 + compiled w. dmd DOES catch the error

niiiice .. NOT ;-)

I'll have to look into this signal stuff .. time to read those other posts again !
thank you
