try/catch behaviour with SEH (VC++ 8)

Hi there,

I am a little bit confused. I used to think that std C++ exceptions are
mapped on top of SEH with VC++, but it seems it is no longer true. The
following example:

     #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
     #include <windows.h>
     #include <iostream>

     void test()
     {
         try
         {
             int *p = 0;
             *p = 0;
         }
         catch ( ... )
         {
             std::cout << "Catched in C++ handler!\n";
         }
     }

     int main()
     {
         __try
         {
             test();
         }
         __except( EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION == GetExceptionCode() )
         {
             std::cout << "Catched in SEH handler!\n";
         }
         return 0;
     }

outputs "Catched in C++ handler!" if compiled with VC++ 6 - okay. But
VC++ Express 2005 SP1 warns about unreachable code in the catch(...)
block (warning C4702), and the compiled program outputs "Catched in SEH
handler!".

I am very confused about that, I was really convinced it should work as
with VC++ 6. Does anyone know more about this ?

Thanks.
