So , I've been reading this article:

And I would like to define my custom handler.However, I'm not sure I understand the mechanics well.What happens after a call is made to the user-defined function ( e.g. the argument of _set_security_error_handler() ) ? Does the program still terminate afterward ? If that is the case, is it possible to terminate only the current thread(assuming that it is not the main thread of the application).AFAIK, each thread has its own stack , so if the stack of a thread gets corrupted, the rest of the application shouldn't be affected.

Finally, if it is indeed possible to only terminate the current thread of execution, what potential problems could such an action cause?

I'm trying to do all this inside an unmanaged C++ dll that I would like to use in my C# code.
