Message:

For non-optimized builds on Windows, use /EHa instead of /EHsc to define the
exception handling behavior. When combined with a C exception translator
function (as identified by a call to _set_se_translator()), this could be
useful in debugging crashes. I have not yet been convinced of this, however,
but I will pursue it further.
