mmmm..

Ok, after reviewing all the c++ messages avail in web interface, I can see that
you guys are busy in all caps.

I have downloaded beta compiler, and if you do the equivalent of:

class Exception { };
class MyError : public Exception { };

try {
throw MyError( );
} catch (Exception& e) {
; // we never get here!!
}

You will find that you must actually throw an object of type Exception to find
your way to the catch.

I'll check it out. Thanks. -Walter

Hmm, but it works for me:


#include <stdio.h>


class Exception { };
class MyError : public Exception { };

int main()
{
  try
  {
    throw MyError( );
  }
  catch (Exception& e)
  {
    printf("caught Exception\n");
  }
}


Prints "caught Exception" as expected...


bye, Christof

Hmm, but it works for me:



Must have been a configuration thing on my end with stlport.. Works for me too.

Sorry.
