Abstract
The techniques and mechanisms described herein are directed to a method for virtually catching an exception. A debugger receives a notification identifying information about an exception that occurred during execution of an application. The debugger then selectively chooses a location on a call stack where execution of the application resumes after the stack is unwound up to the selected location. The location being between a statement on the stack causing the exception and a handler on the stack. The handler being identified during a search phase for exception processing. The mechanism being operative for both handled exceptions and unhandled exceptions.
