terminate (CRT)
Calls abort or a function you specify using set_terminate.
void terminate( void );
The terminate function is used with C++ exception handling and is called in the following cases:
-
A matching catch handler cannot be found for a thrown C++ exception.
-
An exception is thrown by a destructor function during stack unwind.
-
The stack is corrupted after throwing an exception.
terminate calls abort by default. You can change this default by writing your own termination function and calling set_terminate with the name of your function as its argument. terminate calls the last function given as an argument to set_terminate. For more information, see Unhandled C++ Exceptions.
