Disabling exception handling

Name: Anonymous 2008-08-31 22:20

I think a lot of programs would be better if they just continue on unhandled exceptions rather than halt.  Including Windows.  What do you all think of this.

Ultimately destructive.

Go halt yourself.

Enjoy your inevitable and complete data corruption.

What if we could design a program that tested if another program halted with an exception?

What if we wrote everything in Java and ran the entire OS on top of the JVM?

You mean like certain mobile phones?

Are you actually just trying to contribute, or do you just want to show that you know about the Plan 9 bastardization, Inferno?

Surely you mean ON ERROR RESUME NEXT?

Why not build a continuation-based OS?

Why not build a FIOC-based OS?

That's the preferred industry-standard enterprise scalable best-practice design pattern business solution in the Java world.

Java? No thanks. Even though compiling is way uglier and libraries are a bazaar and a mess (esp. due to the lame standard), I'll take a C-based system such a UNIX over a Java-based one. And ideally, I'll take a Python, Lisp or Smalltalk one over that.

This is correct, but I feel bad for reading it coming from a MSDN blog and general Microsoft shiite. Anyways, if IsBadWritePtr should be called CrashProgramRandomly, what would we call iexplore.exe? RapeMyGapingSecurityHole.exe?

It's called C and not checking the return code. It usually doesn't work out very well.

Every time I've written a program and just ignored unhandled exceptions all has been well.  I've designed entire websites, such as www.myspace.com utilizing this principle, and its worked out fine.  To quote a meme from this fine board, NO EXCEPTIONS

source code or it didn't happen

You obviously haven't written very complicated programs with all this exception ignoring.  The problems with unhandled exceptions are well documented and without source code you are not special.

This is a terrible idea, mostly because it has the potential to turn DoS vulnerabilities into remode code execution vulnerabilities.

Perhaps it would be a better idea to not eval untrusted code.

enjoy your inability to do anything useful on your OS that only executes trusted code, since any code that isn't part of the OS should be untrusted.

"Untrusted" means "code of completely unknown provenance that probably just wandered in from the network."

that's what any code that isn't part of the OS is to an OS developer.
