_set_se_translator	Handle Win32 exceptions (C structured exceptions) as C++ typed exceptions	Not applicable. To call the standard C function, use `PInvoke`. For more information, see Platform Invoke Examples.
set_terminate	Install your own termination routine to be called by `terminate`	Not applicable. To call the standard C function, use `PInvoke`. For more information, see Platform Invoke Examples.
set_unexpected	Install your own termination function to be called by `unexpected`	Not applicable. To call the standard C function, use `PInvoke`. For more information, see Platform Invoke Examples.
terminate	Called automatically under certain circumstances after exception is thrown. The `terminate` function calls `abort` or a function you specify using `set_terminate`	Not applicable. To call the standard C function, use `PInvoke`. For more information, see Platform Invoke Examples.
