Structured Exception Handling
Microsoft Structured Exception Handling is the native exception handling mechanism for Windows and a forerunner technology to VEH. It features the finally mechanism not present in standard С++ exceptions (but present in most imperative languages introduced later).
SEH is set up and handled separately for each thread of execution.

Famous quotes containing the words structured, exception and/or handling:
“The subject of the novel is reality liberated from soul. The reader in complete independence presented with a structured process: let him evaluate it, not the author. The façade of the novel cannot be other than stone or steel, flashing electrically or dark, but silent.”
—Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
“Usually he has no thoughts—but as an exception to this rule sometimes nasty thoughts occur to him.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“For a novel addressed by a man to men and women of full age; which attempts to deal unaffectedly with the fret and fever, derision and disaster, that may press in the wake of the strongest passion known to humanity; to tell, without a mincing of words, of a deadly war waged between flesh and spirit; and to point the tragedy of unfulfilled aims, I am not aware that there is anything in the handling to which exception can be taken.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
