Interesting problem. (Yes, I subscribe to python-chekins but it is hard to weed out the chaff there)

Is this compiler possibly an interrim soulution before VC8 came out? Strange that it should call itself version 14.

No, it's the compiler that ships with the Platform SDK. Notice that the feature (runtime error handlers) is not a feature of the compiler at all. Instead, it is a feature of the CRT, and apparently, the SDK ships with a different version of the CRT than VC8.

Maybe we should bracket this with a _VC8 macro that is only defined By the PCBuild8 directory?

I would prefer a solution based on tool-and-library defines. Regards, Martin
