Exception handling routines

Use the C++ exception-handling functions to recover from unexpected events during program execution.

Function	Use
`_set_se_translator`	Handle Win32 exceptions (C structured exceptions) as C++ typed exceptions
`set_terminate`	Install your own termination routine to be called by `terminate`
`set_unexpected`	Install your own termination function to be called by `unexpected`
`terminate`	Called automatically under certain circumstances after exception is thrown. The `terminate` function calls `abort` or a function you specify using `set_terminate`
`unexpected`	Calls `terminate` or a function you specify using `set_unexpected`. The `unexpected` function isn't used in current Microsoft C++ exception-handling implementation
