Chapter 26. ERROR AND EXCEPTION PROCESSING

The Win32 API provides full support for error and exception processing. This feature is extremely important to developers because the dynamic nature of Windows increases the chances that operations that usually succeed may fail under unforeseen circumstances. The use of error and exception processing provides for robust applications that are less vulnerable to the ever-changing conditions of the system. Furthermore, in the event of a system failure, the application can exit gracefully.
