## SUMMARY

The online Help for compiler error C2712 ("cannot use __try in func with object unwinding") states:
To avoid this error message, compile using /GX option.
This is incorrect. It should read that the workaround is to compile with /GX-, which instructs the compiler to disable C++ exception handling unwinding.
