> Windows vectored exception handler is executed with the same processor flags as in code where exception has occurred. As Microsoft compiler generates unsafe function prolog in debug mode, incorrect direction flag value may lead to undesirable results such as stack values corruption. 
> The problem is similar to H-2010, when vectored handler changes IP address and returns control to the OS the remaining part of handler can be executed with incorrect direction flag. So the assembler wrappers are required to reset/restore a direction flag.
