Interestingly, ~Object() is also called if you ADD a "throw(int)" specifier to the FromBase::Run() method that invokes the Raiser constructor.

Local destructor isn't called! Hi Lev, I notice that if the throw(int) specification is taken off the Raiser constructor, then the ~Object() is called with -O3. (I'm using GCC 3.3.1 on CygWin / Windows XP.) Very odd. Good catch. Have you filed a bug? BTW, in general, I've found that it's usually best NOT to put in throw specifications for functions / methods. Ever. (This restriction does not apply to putting in the "throw() -- I throw nothing, ever" specification. But even that should be used with great caution.) If C++ did exception specifications like how Java does them, then that'd be a different story. --Eljay
