Handling Segfaults

Name: Anonymous 2016-09-09 22:18

What is the most portable way to catch segfaults together with their addresses and then resuming at the place where it happened? I.e. to handle array out of bounds exception by expanding array.

I know it is done with signal() on POSIX and with SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() on Windows. But you cant define signal() for Windows, because it has its own stripped down version, useful only for the purpose of handling CTRL-C.

Both don't signal() and SetUnhandledExceptionFilter() have no means of recovering from error.

Just found about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_MPX

appears to be hardware support for boundary checks on any array. Yet is was introduced in 2015, so we need 10 years, before it becomes widespread enough.
