Maybe my subject was a little off but here is what I am wanting to
accomplish:

I am wanting to have something like this:

( however, this examle does not work. I get a compile error)
( but i do get it to work by explicitly declaring my exception)
( object before I throw it)

class ErrorClass
{
 private:
  char * _msg;

 public:
   ErrorClass( char *msg ) { _msg = msg }
   ~ErrorClass() {}
};

int main ()
{
 int i = 5;

 try
 {
  throw ( ErrorClass e )
 }
 catch ( ErrorClass e )
 {
  printf ( "\n caught error" );
 }
 return 0;
}
( but i do get it to work by explicitly declaring my exception)
( object before I throw it)

Is there another way to throw an exception aside from explicitly doing
 try
  {
    ErrorClass e;
    throw ( e ); 
   ...
   ...
  }
 catch (... blah blah

???

Please help.
Thank you.
