Subject: exception handling again....
Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com

ok, for fear of sounding like a complete idiot this will hopefully be my last attempt at exception handling, otherwise i'll just write some clean readable code and implement it later on.

//exce.cpp

#include

void main()
{
    try
    {
       cout << "trying...." << endl;
       throw ((int)5);
    }
    catch (int e)
    {
       cout << "error val : " << e << endl;
    }
}
                                                                                
I have downloaded gcc295b.zip,  gpp295b.zip, and libstcx 295 (lgpp295.zip or something) 
all this does now is crash rhide and still when i run the exec, it exits with stderr output "Abort!"
i have not attempted -fsjlj-exceptions with this, as i assume this will also be as slow as in 2.8.1

the only thing i can perhaps think of is that a try-catch clause is not allowed in main().  

any help would be greatly appreciated.
