#28 SEH in jSuneido/JSDI

[Victor Schappert]

Problem

There are two issues.

1. As documented in jsdi_callback.cpp, if a dll invocation calls multiple Suneido callbacks before returning control to Suneido, it won't short-circuit if the first callback throws a Suneido (i.e. Java/JNI) exception.
2. JSDI can only catch JNI exceptions. Therefore it can't catch other exception types supported by SEH, such as exceptions that cross the kernel/user code boundary, and exceptions raised at the machine level (e.g. access violation).

TODO

• Convert JSDI to build using Microsoft compiler (because MinGW doesn't support SEH and probably won't do so for a long time, if ever).
• Raise and catch SEH exceptions at appropriate places.
  • Every callback invocation should check for a JNI exception and raise an SEH exception...
  • Every dll invocation should catch SEH exceptions and raise JNI exceptions.
  • The above bullets are given as examples and don't necessarily represent an exhaustive list of what needs to be done.
