Message: [QUOTE="Salt_Peter, post: 3651875"] No, unless you equip the program to do so (add relevent catch clauses to capture other specific exceptions). In the case where standardized exceptions come into play, at least add a catch block for std::exception. If coders stuck to using the existing hierarchy, life would be much simpler, ie: #include <iostream> #include <stdexcept> // std::runtime_error is a derivative of std::exception class SomeException : public std::runtime_error { public: SomeException( const char* ps ) : std::runtime_error( ps ) { } }; int main() { try { throw SomeException("error in main()"); } catch( const std::exception& e ) { std::cout << e.what() << std::endl; } catch( ... ) { std::cout << "unknown exception\n"; } } /* error in main() */ [/QUOTE]
