Hello experts!

I have tried almost all permutations of try, catch & throw etc. without success
:-((

I thougt the code might look like the simple example below, but the compiler
rejects it:

//------------ verscc.cc --------------------------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>

class error {
public:
int ee;
error(int i) {ee = i;}
void report() {printf("Error %i\n",ee);}
};

int xdiv(int a, int b)
throw (error) // or raises error ??
{
  if (b==0) throw error(1);
  return a / b;
};

main(){
//=====
int i;
  printf("verscc.cc\n");
  for (i=3; i>=0; i--){
     try {
        printf("9/%i = %i\n",i,xdiv(9,i));
     }
     catch (error& e){
       e.report();
     }
  }
  printf("Done.\n");
};
// ---- EOF ---

I also tried all compiler switches like -ansi-exceptions, but then gcc
complained 'unknown switch'...

Many thanks and regards
