Re: OT: g++ ignoring try/catch blocks?

[Nate Bargmann <n0nb@n0nb.us>]

Indeed, Roger, an excellent explanation.  Thank you very much.

As a bit of background, the tutorial is written some years ago and I
have found the C++ standard has tightened a few things which has
enhanced my learning!  Also, the author uses MS VC++ even though the
book is aimed at the C++ standard of the time.  It's likely that the
code was not tested on Unix/Linux although sometimes he will note some
differences between the platforms which indicates some feedback if not
personal experience.  Fortunately, the tutorial is not MS VC++ centric
as near as I can tell.  It's likely, then, that the try{} block in the
program was able to intercept the exception on MS Windows at that time.

Thanks again.
