Is try/catch supported for custom indicators?

I have searched the support board and found numerous mentions of this issue but the only solution that I see provided is to add -fexcptions to the "Additional Compiler Parameters". However when I add this parameter and select "Remote Build" it still fails and still reports the same message: HT_HIddenDivMACDx2_64.cpp:265:15: error: exception handling disabled, use '-fexceptions' to enable 265 | catch (char *ErrMsg) { | ^~~~~~ HT_HIddenDivMACDx2_64.cpp:266:22: error: 'ErrMsg' was not declared in this scope 266 | sc.AddMessageToLog(ErrMsg, 1); The only way I can get my files to compile without errors is to completely remove all of the try/catch statements from my code. How is the custom study supposed to report run time exceptions to the log if try/catch is not supported? Is there a solution to this or do I simply have to remove the error handling I have built into my custom indicators? FYI, I can compile this using Visual Studio 2017 but many installations of Sierra Chart are not able to run the indicators that are compiled through that program. I'm searching for solutions and so far I have not found a clear explanation in any of the support board posts I have reviewed to date. Seems to be a common issue, yet no one who posts about this issue ever receives a workable solution. Thanks for your time and assistance! |

Came upon this issue today. Entering '-fexceptions' in the "Additional Compiler Parameters" box has no effect when using Remote Build. Will installing the Visual C++ Compiler provide this functionality? Please advise. Edit: To answer my own question, installing the "MSVC v140 - VS 2015 C++ build tools" along with Visual Studio appears to have solved this problem. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2021-11-07 10:36:27

In hindsight, using the VS C++ compiler isn't a feasible solution. The number of errors it finds in code that's been both compiled with REMOTE BUILD and running for some time was overwhelming. SC, please get the "try-catch" blocks up and running again for the REMOTE BUILD compiler. |

We will spend some time on this today. We apologize for the delay.

Try and Catch statements are now supported with Remote Build for C++ custom studies.
