no try block associated with this catch handler

A catch handler is defined but not preceded by a try block.

The following sample generates C2318:

// C2318.cpp  
// compile with: /EHsc  
#include <eh.h>  
int main() {  
   // no try block  
   catch( int ) {}   // C2318  
}  

Possible resolution:

// C2318b.cpp  
// compile with: /EHsc  
#include <eh.h>  
int main() {  
   try{}  
   catch( int ) {}  
}
