Dear all:

I´m a bit confused after reading about exception handling in the ECMA
standard.

In Partition I, section 12.4.2, Exception handling, it says:

"A user-filtered handler that runs a user-specified set of CIL
instructions
to determine whether the exception should be ignored (i.e. execution
should
resume), handled by the associated handler, or passed on to the next
protected block."

This clearly states three possible outcomes from the execution of a
user filter:
1) resume execution.
2) handle exception.
3) continue search.

In section 12.4.2.5, Overview of Exception Handling, it says:

"Execution cannot be resumed at the location of the exception, except
with a user-filtered handler."

This reinforces that option 1) (above) is possible.

However in Partition III, section 3.34, endfilter - End filter Clause
of ECH, we are only given two possibilities:

-"exception_continue_search(0) ..."
-"exception_execute_handler(1) ..."

which only cover options 3) and 2) above, respectively.

Is this really inconsistent or am I missing something? Is there a way
to ignore an exception and resume execution with an user-filtered
handler?

Thanks in advance for your help!
