== {{Anchor|VEH}}Vectored Exception Handling ==

Vectored Exception Handling was introduced in [[Windows XP]].<ref name="VEH">{{cite web|url=http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301714.aspx|title=Under the Hood: New Vectored Exception Handling in Windows XP |archiveurl = http://web.archive.org/web/20080915135659/http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc301714.aspx |archivedate = 2008-09-15 |dead-url=yes}}</ref> Vectored Exception Handling is made available to Windows programmers using languages such as [[C++]] and [[Visual Basic]]. VEH does not replace Structured Exception Handling (SEH), rather VEH and SEH coexist, with VEH handlers having priority over SEH handlers.<ref name="devx" /><ref name="VEH" />
