RE: Can't catch any throw on gcc 3.0.4

Are you using exception-specifications on your methods?

The call to

Suggests that you are throwing an exception that is not listed in a
callers list of valid (expected) exceptions.

eg.

#include <iostream>

struct X
{
   void test() throw (int)   // If anything but an int is thrown it will
not be caught.
   {
        throw char('a');
   }
};

int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{
    try
    {
        X  x;
        x.test();
    }
    catch(char& x)
    {
        std::cout << "Caught Char: (" << x <<")\n";
    }
    catch(int& x)
    {
        std::cout << "Caught Int: (" << x <<"(\n";
    }
    catch(...)
    {
        std::cout << "Something\n";
    }
    return(0);
}

Hi 

I'm writing an application on Linux 7.3 using gcc 3.0.4 and having a
little problem with the exception handling. It works fine with MSVC. The
stack was:

Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x42029331 in kill () from /lib/i686/libc.so.6

Do you have any idea?

Thanks & Regards
