exception thrown (origin unknown)

[peterworth]

when stepping through my program, it gets to a line which calls a function (let's call it x) and then jumps out of the current function back to the catch statement in the function that called y (z). even though i'm pressing F11 when the trace gets to the line that calls x, it never goes inside x, just jumps straight to the catch statement. i never see anything thrown. anyone know why this might be? thanks.

Without seeing any real code that's impossible to say, though I'd expect something like

class Foo
{
public:
	int Bar() { return m; }
	int m;
};
...
  Foo* foo = NULL;
  foo->Bar();

to bug out immediately...

ah, sorted it now, sorry. it was just that the function being called was in a different dll.

Just a side note -- one way you can single-step in, even if it is in a different DLL (without debug symbols, for example), is to switch to the disassembly listing first. Then at least you will see the assembly instructions of the function you are calling.

Otherwise if you try to single-step from a source line it will not do it, because there is no source available for what you are calling.
