How to generate SEH code

Hello!
I am developing a Windows driver and need some SEH code.
These codes are implemented in C as follows:

do {
	__try {
		ProbeForWrite(address, length, 1);
		break;
	} __except (1) {
		if (GetExceptionCode() == STATUS_GUARD_PAGE_VIOLATION) {
			continue;
		}
		return false;
	}
} while (true);

return true;

Compile this C code with the Microsoft compiler

.text:00407700 ; __unwind { // __except_handler4
.text:00407700                 push    ebp

I am now going to use rust instead of C to write windows drivers.
How should I generate similar code with rust?
Thanks

Rust does not currently support the SEH exception handling mechanism. However, I'd love to have that in Rust and hopefully someone will actually have the motivation to finally write an RFC for it.

It sounds like you will have to put the SEH code in a custom C file and call that from Rust.
