C++ RTTI in a Windows 64-bit VectoredExceptionHandler, MS Visual Studio 2015

6

I'm working on small Windows Exception handling engine trying to gather maximum information from the system, including C++ exceptions RTTI.

In a 32-bit VectoredExceptionHandler compiled by MSVS 2015, I successfully can obtain std::type_info pointer to RTTI of the type being thrown. It can easily be found in ((_ThrowInfo*) ExceptionPointers->ExceptionRecord->ExceptionInformation[2])->pCatchableTypeArray->arrayOfCatchableTypes[0] (see classic article of Raymond Chen, some definitions from MS's ehdata.h file and many others). This method is based on fetching pCatchableTypeArray member of MSVC built-in _ThrowInfo structure data which is built by the compiler.

But in 64-bit environment, _ThrowInfo contains no direct RTTI: unfortunately, pCatchableTypeArray is NULL. In disassembly window, I see that it is NULL even before a call to _CxxThrowException, main MS throw-handler. I searched through a number of articles concerning new 64-bit exception-handling mechanism used in MSVC, but there is no information on RTTI. But maybe I missed something.

Are there any ways to obtain std::type_info (or simply type name) of the C++ exception being thrown in a vectored exception handler working in 64-bit MSVC environment?

Here's the output of dumping 32-bit and 64-bit exception info:

To solve this problem I gone deeper with the research and discovered some interesting things concerning MSVC 64-bit mode. I've found that we can not rely on internal compiler-predefined types in 64-bit mode because some of them are wrong.

I compared definitions of some internal structures predefined by the compiler, such as _ThrowInfo and _CatchableType, with assembly listings produced by the compiler being run with /FAs command-line switch.

Here are the instances of these structures extracted from the assembly files (below is MSVC 2015 64-bit version):

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Listing generated by Microsoft Optimizing Compiler Version 19.00.24213.1 
; Simplified: many lines skipped, some sections reordered etc -- Ded

;   struct meow_exception { int code = 3; };
;   
;   try
;       {
;       throw meow_exception();

    lea  rdx, OFFSET FLAT:_TI1?AUmeow_exception@?1??main@@YAHXZ@  ; lea &_ThrowInfo
    lea  rcx, QWORD PTR $T1[rsp]
    call _CxxThrowException

    DQ  FLAT:??_7type_info@@6B@
    DQ  0
    DB  '.?AUmeow_exception@?1??main@@YAHXZ@', 0  ; Mangled type name

;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The binary layout of 32-bit version of these structures is similar to 64-bit, with some little differences (FLAT modifier instead of imagerel in address fields and DD instead of DQ in _TypeDescriptor).

Then, let's compare this listing to the predefined types taken from ehdata.h file (f.e., see well-known source by Geoff Chappell or C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\crt\src\ehdata.h file in MSVC 2013; unfortunately this file doesn't exist in MSVC 2015 runtime sources):

typedef const struct _s__ThrowInfo
    {
    unsigned int         attributes;
    _PMFN                pmfnUnwind;            // this is a pointer!
    int (__cdecl        *pForwardCompat) (...); // this is a pointer too!
    _CatchableTypeArray *pCatchableTypeArray;   // this is a pointer too!
    }
    _ThrowInfo;

typedef const struct _s__CatchableType
    {
    unsigned int     properties;
    _TypeDescriptor *pType;                     // this is a pointer too!
    _PMD             thisDisplacement;
    int              sizeOrOffset;
    _PMFN            copyFunction;              // this is a pointer too!
    }
    _CatchableType;

In 32-bit mode, everything is OK because pointers are 32-bit and predefined internal definitions of structures correspond with assembly listings.

In 64-bit mode, pointers in these structures are RVAs (Relative Virtual Addresses) measured from image base of the module. This is known and well-documented feature; it truly corresponds with assembler listing above. Notice imagerel address modifiers, these mean RVAs. These RVAs are 32-bit and defined as 32-bit DD keyword.

But in 64-bit mode, from the C++ side, the corresponding pointers are considered to be 64-bit. Thus, C++ binary layout of the internal compiler structures containing pointers (such as _ThrowInfo or _CatchableType above) does not correspond to the Assembler binary layout. Sizes of these structures are greater from C++ side, and the fields offsets are wrong too.

To test this, I defined my own custom structures with the same fields represented as 32-bit integer types instead of pointers:

namespace CORRECT
    {
    struct ThrowInfo
        {
        __int32 attributes;
        __int32 pmfnUnwind;           // now this is 32-bit RVA
        __int32 pForwardCompat;       // now this is 32-bit RVA
        __int32 pCatchableTypeArray;  // now this is 32-bit RVA
        };

    struct CatchableType
        {
        __int32 properties;
        __int32 pType;                // now this is 32-bit RVA
        _PMD    thisDisplacement;
        __int32 sizeOrOffset;
        __int32 copyFunction;         // now this is 32-bit RVA
        };
    }

Then I dumped the contents of _ThrowInfo and _CatchableType using both internal definitions and my own definitions. Here's the result (MSVC 2015 64-bit):

exc->ExceptionCode               = 0xE06D7363

See the differences in sizes of the whole structures (28 vs 16 bytes, 36 vs 28 bytes), of the pointer members (8 vs 4 bytes) and wrong offsets.

When using CORRECT:: definitions, it's easy to get correct RTTI desired.

The original C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\VC\crt\src\ehdata.h file from MSVC 2013 runtime sources contains conditional preprocessor directives #ifdef _EH_RELATIVE_OFFSETS which substitute pointers to __int32 offsets. But predefined internal compiler types always contains 64-bit wrong pointers.

Thus, using internal definitions of RTTI structures are unreliable in 64-bit mode. One should use its own definitions where pointer members are represented as 32-bit integers (or #define _EH_RELATIVE_OFFSETS and use ehdata.h mentioned above). After that, don't forget manually convert RVAs to the common C++ pointers by adding ImageBase address as usual. But one should not trust pointer members in such structures and definitions containing such pointers because they don't reflect the true 64-bit binary layout.

I tested it with MSVC 2010, and got the same results.

Here's the code for getting correct RTTI in 64-bit MSVC environment:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <typeinfo>
#include <stdexcept>
#include <windows.h>
