"First-chance exception" meaning in MFC Application?

When I run my Windows Application(MFC) I get two Warnings.

First-chance exception at 0x01046a44 in XXX.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000048.

First-chance exception at 0x75fdb9bc (KernelBase.dll) in XXX.exe: 0x000006BA: The RPC server is unavailable.

May I know what they mean?

Solution

  • What is a first chance exception?

    When an application is being debugged, the debugger gets notified whenever an exception is encountered. At this point, the application is suspended and the debugger decides how to handle the exception. The first pass through this mechanism is called a "first chance" exception. Depending on the debugger's configuration, it will either resume the application and pass the exception on or it will leave the application suspended and enter debug mode. If the application handles the exception, it continues to run normally.
