Compiler Error C2702

  • Article

__except may not appear in termination block

An exception handler (__try/__except) cannot be nested inside a __finally block.

The following sample generates C2702:

// C2702.cpp
// processor: x86 IPF
int Counter;
int main() {
   __try {}
   __finally {
      __try {}   // C2702
      __except( Counter ) {}   // C2702
   }
}
