Hello out there,
we have an environment, where a master program executes other
programs. In case of error (in these "other programs") we want to tell
as precisely as possible what went wrong - including the kind of
exception thrown, if any.

To test this feature, we have a mini program which just causes an
exception (see raiseex.c below). We start it using CreateProcess and
obtain its exit code with GetExitCodeProcess - this all works.

The problem is, that (Builder 5 compiled) raiseex always returns -1 -
no matter what exception it raises. A customer provided a version
compiled with VC++, and this returns 0xC0000093 to our "master
program" (like expected).

What do we have to do to have a program return specific exception
information? Some kind of exception handler? Some compiler option?

Any hint will be greatly appreciated.

#include <windows.h>

int main( void)
{
    int cmd = EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION;

    /* Make sure the GPF dialog doesn't popup */
    SetErrorMode( SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS | SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX);
    /* SMASH! */
    RaiseException( cmd, EXCEPTION_NONCONTINUABLE, 0, NULL);

    /* NOTREACHED */
    return 0;
}
