Readme

This package provides an alternative to the Win32 library's error handling mechanism. The goal is to provide a nearly drop-in replacement for Win32's error-handling functions while offering the following benefits:

  • Ability to distinguish between different Win32 error codes.

  • Ability to catch Win32 exceptions separately from other exception types.

  • Ability to query for the generating function's name and standard system error massage associated with the exception.
