PRB: GWES Exceptions Will Not Execute JIT Debugger (294134)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows CE Operating System, Versions 3.0
This article was previously published under Q294134

SYMPTOMS

Graphics, Windowing, and Events Subsystem (GWES) exceptions will not cause the just-in-time (JIT) debugger to be executed and may cause the system to stop responding ("hang").

MORE INFORMATION

This is of use primarily to customers who are trying to create a system event log for exceptions. The JIT debugger will get executed for user application exceptions. But if an exception occurs in GWES, the debugger will not be executed and the system will hang. This means the developer won't have a log of the exception and cannot restart the system if necessary.

REFERENCES

For more information on how to implement a JIT debugger, see the API description for DebugActiveProcess in the Platform Builder 3.0 documentation.
