Hi!

I have a problem with exceptions in that I probably did not really
understand the concept,
I suppose.
I have written the following small test program:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
#include <iostream>
#include <stdexcept>

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
  try
  {
    throw invalid_argument(string("error"));
  }
  catch (...)
  {
  }

  return 0;
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Is there something wrong about it except that it does not do anything
useful?

Now I compile it with
g++ -g -Wall -o test1 test1.cpp

This gives me no warnings so I suppose this is ok?!

Now executing it with
./test1

results in:
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Now I have a look with gdb:
gdb ./test1 core

which results in:

Is there anyone out there having an idea what I am doing wrong here?
I have a SuSE 6.1 system with the standard egcs-1.1.2 and libstdc++ 2.9
installed.
