When Even Crashing Doesn’t Work

  Though this is Bruce's personal blog, the equivalent post on AltDevBlogADay is at http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2012/07/06/when-even-crashing-doesnt-work/ http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2012/07/06/when-even-crashing-... and has more discussion, etc (and is one of the best programming blogs to follow at the moment, IMHO).

  How much of Windows is either bugs or bug-compatibility shims these days?

  I mentioned it on the post, but the solution to problem #2 in this post is to follow the instructions at http://is.gd/H1Ep2n http://is.gd/H1Ep2n (shortened because MSDN has ()s in URLs), mark your app as Win7 compatible and you'll avoid all shims, exception swallowing, etc etc.

  EnableCrashingOnCrashes is one function in my utility library that really, really shouldn't exist.
