PRB: SEH with Abort() in the try Body

• Microsoft Win32 Application Programming Interface (API), included with:
  • Microsoft Windows NT, versions 3.1, 3.5, 3.51
  • Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When using Structured Exception Handling, if the try body calls abort(), the finally body is not executed.

CAUSE

The finally body is not executed because the abort() never returns. It calls ExitProcess(), which terminates the process.

RESOLUTION

This behavior is by design.
