    12 <concept id="GUID-D542B24D-5A17-516C-85B0-66A5E8A97946" xml:lang="en"><title>Exception

    13 handling</title><shortdesc>Description of the functions related to Exception handling.</shortdesc><prolog><metadata><keywords/></metadata></prolog><conbody>

    14 <p>When an exception occurs, such as dividing by zero or an access violation,

    15 what happens depends on whether the thread has an exception handler. If a

    16 thread has no exception handler or has an exception handler which will not

    17 handle the type of exception identified by the <xref href="GUID-7AF19D5F-E146-3BFA-9741-58B12D4E85A8.dita"><apiname>TExcType</apiname></xref> enumeration,

    18 then the exception is passed to the Kernel for handling. The default action

    19 is to panic the offending thread. </p>

    20 <p>If a thread has an exception handler, then the handler is executed in the

    21 context of the thread on which the exception is raised; control returns to

    22 the point of exception. If a thread calls <codeph>RaiseException()</codeph> and

    23 there is no handler for that type of exception, then a <codeph>KERN-EXEC 3</codeph> panic

    24 is raised. </p>

    25 <p>The following functions are involved in exception handling: </p>
