More fun with SEH

Just to demonstrate what kind of fancy stuff SEH provides, I wrote this small demo code for win32/x86. Idea of this code is to show how to modify the way other frames handle their exceptions. I don't see much applications for this technology, other than explanation how SEH works. If you understand how this demo does what it does - you likely understand SEHs pretty well.

#include "stdafx.h"#include <windows.h>#include <stdio.h>void handler() {
  printf("intercepted");
  getchar();
  exit(1);
}void install(int where) {void** head;
  __asm {
    mov eax, fs:0
    mov head, eax
  }int n = 0;while (head != (void**)-1) {if (n++ == where) {
      *(head+1) = &handler;
    }
    head = (void**)*head;
  }return;
}void foo(int r) {if (r == 0) {
    install(3);return;
  }
  __try {
    foo(r-1);if (r == 3) {
      *(char*)0 = 0;
    }
  } __except(1) {
    printf("regular\n");
  }
}int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
  foo(10);

  getchar();

  return0;
}
