(KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363: Microsoft C++ Exception.

[Victor Ortiz]

I am using a third-party library which accesses MSSQL via ODBC. My OS is NT
4.0 sp4 and I am writing an app using MSVC 6.0. I am evaluating this
library and putting it through its paces. However, I am getting an
exception thrown into my scope with an accompanying message in the OUTPUT
window of the MSVC IDE.

First-chance exception in secantTests.exe (KERNEL32.DLL): 0xE06D7363:
Microsoft C++ Exception.

The engineers at this third-party have not been able to reproduce the
problem and, as yet, do not know what the problem is.

How can I find out what the offending routine is within kernel32.dll? Is
there a memory map that I can refer to. I tried looking at the dll with
Quick View but the addresses seem not be load addresses as the above message
seems to imply.

Help.

Victor,

Grab your NT CD. In the directory \support, grab the symbols tree and
copy it to %systemroot% such that you end up with

+ winnt (or whatever)
|
+ symbols
|
+ dll
|
+ exe
|
+ drv

and so on. Then, grab the symbols for your latest installed service pack
(usually from the same place where you got the SP and update the files
from the NT CD.

Of course, if all you are interested in is kernel32, you only need that
one symbol file.

In general, though, what you need are not kernel32 symbols. You want the
3rd-party lib's symbols instead so the "engineers" of that company can
look what they are doing when things go pear-shaped.

In all likelihood, the offending routine is not within kernel32.  Rather, kernel32 is trapping an otherwise unhandled exception.  The next time it happens, view the Call Stack window, and you should see the offender somewhere down in the stack.  In a test program I just wrote, the offender was the third item down:

KERNEL32! RaiseException@16 + 106 bytes
MSVCRTD! _CxxThrowException@8 + 57 bytes
CFooDlg::OnMisbehave() line 73
...
