Okay, so one big part of Delphi SEH requires conversions for system exceptions,
interrupts, assertions and other Delphi exceptions into Delphi SEH structures.
>(Delphi's try-finally blocks still execute, though.)
In my tests (D4) no Finally code was executed, the call to @Assert actually
never returned and ended up in Halt instead, without triggering any Finally
code. I.e. SEH is not working at all when the various exception conditions do
not trigger the Delphi exception handling.
Consequently a replacement SEH should specify what it supports, at least:
- Delphi version
- which kinds of error conditions (by triggering Delphi exception handling)
- exceptions during exception handling (in exception handling code)
- debugging
- possibly non-standard behaviour of Except and Finally
More topics may need a specification (thread support...).
With regards to these many and possibly still incomplete parameters I doubt
that a possible reduction of program size by at most 24KB justifies the
implementation and use of a replacement SEH, besides for programs in a very
restricted environment. Even in special cases an exclusion of the whole SEH
seems to be the simplest solution, requiring nothing but not to use SysUtils.
So my question to Laura is:
What shall be the benefit of your SEH, as opposed to simply excluding SysUtils?
DoDi
P.S.: @Assert shows another calling convention encoding, in addition to the
(stdcall? cdecl?) convention with _GetMem.
