I'm currently implementing a stack backtrace for D 2.0 which provides additional information for D Errors and Exceptions through the runtime trace handler. It is already working for exceptions and errors, but for a access violation the trace handler is not called. As I'm currently writing the windows version of the backtracer (linux version will follow) I tried to use the UnhandeledExceptionFilter from the win api, but it is not being called when a access violation happens, so it seems that the D 2.0 implementation does handle the error in some way. Is there a other error handler that is being called on a access violation or is there no possibility to provide a backtrace for a access violation yet?

Regards

Errors that originate from the Windows SEH are constructed a bit differently.  I'll have to make sure this is done in a way that triggers the trace handler.

Hi Sean,
did you have time to look at this issue in the meantime?

Kind Regards
