__exception_info( ) bug?

[RedGhost]

Code Select Expand

 
__try {
   *(unsigned long *)0 = 1;
} __except( EXCEPTION_EXECUTE_HANDLER ) {
   void *p = _exception_info( );
   /* or */
   _exception_info( );
}


gives me "error #2201: Bad context for intrinsic function '_exception_info'."

_exception_code( ) works fine.

Is it a bug or am I being stupid?

Microsoft says:

You can use the _exception_code function within the exception handler. However, you can use _exception_info only within the exception filter. The information it points to is generally on the stack and is no longer available when control is transferred to the exception handler.
