[gdal-dev] Building with SEH

[Chris Howell]

Hi All, 

Currently there is an error with one of the drivers in OGR whereby if a corrupted or just generally malformatted shape file is attempted to be opened through OGR, there is an exception that is generated in the VC Runtime, where OGR completely crashes and I can't trap the exception to handle it at application level because the runtime is crashing. What I am wondering about is there a way I can compile GDAL with SEH enbabled turning exceptions that are generated at the OS level into standard C++ exceptions I can trap and handle appropriately ? I looked in the make file and the options file and didn't seen anything obvious. 

Any light anyone can shed on this would be greatly appreciated. 

Cheers
