WinUAE - Picking up exceptions

mcgeezer · 10 May 2019, 14:55

Hi,

Just a little advice wanted on picking up exceptions on WinUAE.

I'm really keen on not having to write an exception handler unless I have to and I was wondering if WinUAE does this for me? I looked at the 'il' command but I'm unsure if it's picking up exceptions that are being generated (i have a bug needle deep in my code somewhere).

If I want to catch address errors, etc will the 'il' command pick these up for me?

I also have WinUAEEnforcer running which does pick up bad addresses reads/writes but this is just hanging completely.

Any help is really appreciated.

It won't handle them, it simply reports it and breaks to debugger.

Better use "real" enforcer (+mmu emulation, use 68040 or 68060 unless you really need 68030. 68030 mmu emulation is much slower). winuaenforcer has some restrictions and it isn't that useful anymore, now that mmu emulation exists.
