For example, accessing a mapped file that resides on a remote server can generate an exception if the connection to the server is lost. Exceptions can also occur because of a full disk, an underlying device failure, or a memory allocation failure. When writing to a file view, exceptions can also occur because the file is shared and a different process has locked a byte range. To guard against exceptions due to input and output (I/O) errors, all attempts to access memory mapped files should be wrapped in structured exception handlers" </p> <blockquote> <p> DWORD dwLength; <span class="underline">try { </span></p> <blockquote> <p> dwLength = *((LPDWORD) lpMapAddress); </p> </blockquote> <p> } <span class="underline">except(<a class="missing wiki">GetExceptionCode</a>()==EXCEPTION_IN_PAGE_ERROR ? </span></p> <blockquote> <p> EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER : EXCEPTION_CONTINUE_SEARCH) </p> </blockquote> <p> { </p> <blockquote> <p> <em> Failed to read from the view. </em></p> </blockquote> <p> } </p> </blockquote> <p> ... so it should be mentioned in the documentation?
