In the code I am implementing I have

__except(EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER)
    {
        return false;
    }

And there is an execution path when the exception occurs How can I know why the exception happened while debugging? Use GetExceptionInformation?-Can it print the exception or give me exception`s data?

    make your debugger break at the point where exceptions are thrown

  • Note that swallowing exceptions is not a good idea in general because you don't know whether the exception is recoverable (and if it is, how to recover from it).

In Visual Studio, you can go to Debug > Exceptions (in the menu). There's a checkbox for each exception type which enables you to break execution when the exception is thrown.
