Enabling exceptions to Qt project in Visual Studio 2017

[TheEnigmist]

I'm using Qt with Visual Studio, I'm able to code, compile and run it without any problem.
Now I want to catch some error

try{
   //known fail code
}catch(...){
   qCritical() << "error!";

But the application will crash instead of printing "error" in console! I read online that I need to add -exceptions flag and I tried adding this flag in:

• C\C++ -> Command Line -> Additional Options
• Qt Compilers (Meta-object and resource)

But none of them enabled the exception handling!
What am I wrong?

@TheEnigmist Does your app really crash because of a C++ exception? What error is printed when it crashes?

[TheEnigmist]

@jsulm Yes, I found out that I can't catch the error "index out of bound". While the code works if I put a simple throw std::runtime_error("error");
My fault!

"index out of bound".

Who should throw an exception here? At least no Qt containers...

[TheEnigmist]

@Christian-Ehrlicher Yes, I found out that Qt container suppose an index is alredy checked before accessing a list. So I need to check it before and if the index goes over the size of the list raise an exception.
