[Mingw-users] AddVectoredExceptionHandler was not declared in this scope

[Mike Jones!]

Hello,

I'm trying to use VEH with g++ on Windows XP (x86). MinGW is properly
installed, and other programs compile fine, however I cannot use the
AddVectoredExceptionHandler API.

Here is a simple sample from Windows XP VM: http://pastebin.com/m8X8ySsW

The MSDN documentation says only windows.h is needed for inclusion.
What am I missing to be able to use the AddVectoredExceptionHandler
API?

Thanks

An appropriate definition of _WIN32_WINNT perhaps?

That was it. Needed to be before the include:

#define _WIN32_WINNT 0x502
#include <windows.h>

I also found a post on stackoverflow about re-declaring an API, so I
did it like this:

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
WINBASEAPI PVOID WINAPI
AddVectoredExceptionHandler(ULONG,PVECTORED_EXCEPTION_HANDLER);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

Though the only modification needed to get the code to compile was the
proper value for _WIN32_WINNT.

AFAIK, MinGW doesn't support ms-specific exception handling,
though I've heard that the people at
http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/
are working on it.

AddVectoredExceptionHandler() works for me (TM), with MinGW.
