Unhandled Application Exception

Example

void problem1(int *y)
{
    *y = 5;
}

void problem2()
{
    int x = new int;
}

In these (simplified) example functions, two exceptions are possible:

• Variable y may not reference a valid memory location and therefore the write may cause an exception to be thrown. If that exception is not properly handled, the Dependencies Report will show an Unhandled application exception pointing to the write of y.

• If the process is out of memory, the allocation will throw an exception. If the exception is not handled, the Dependencies Report will show an Unhandled application exception associated with the allocation.

Because of the abnormal process termination (crash), the Dependencies tool may also report a Missing end task and Missing end site problem.
