Enforce Visual Studio exception handling mode

Question

I'm using the Visual Studio /EHsc exception handling mode in my project. This means catch(...) won't catch structured exceptions. I've got a public header that does a catch(...) that can be included by consumer projects.

I'm concerned that a project consuming my header may have a different exception handling mode that will make my header misbehave.

Is there a way of static_asserting or #pragma error'ing or otherwise failing the build if the exception handling mode isn't as needed?
