Description

Currently, Odin doesn't deliver EXCEPTION_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION exceptions when accessing memory pages marked by VirtualProtect() as PAGE_GUARD to the application. This needs to be fixed. In particular, it is used in OpenJDK to implement the stack yellow and red zones (to have the better control on "out of stack" situations).

See ​OpenJDK ticket 160 that contains a lot of information about the problem.

Basically, we should do two things:

  1. Make sure EXCEPTION_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION is initiated in the Odin/Win32 application when a PAGE_GUARD page is accessed.
  2. Make sure that in case if the PAGE_GUARD page is part of the thread's stack, EXCEPTION_STACK_OVERFLOW is initiated instead (as this is what Windows does).
