yes, like this: catch (MyException& e)
& operator is not necessary, but it is a good programming practice regarding performance

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

in c++ you can also catch integral types, like: catch (long x)

try {<br />
  throw 5;<br />
}catch(long x) {<br />
 printf("%d", x);<br />
}<br />

as far as i know, there is no portable way to do it.

5. these are not specifically for java developers but it is not that hard.

Britley wrote:

The example[^] here uses a pointer to the exception object, whereas you are using a reference. What is correct?

Britley wrote:

Does this work like this:

try {<br />
throw 5L;<br />
}catch(long x) {<br />
printf("%d", x);<br />
}

Can you tell me how you would obtain the exception info when using Microsoft Visual C++?

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

if an exception is allocated on the heap (using 'new' operator), it must be caught through a pointer.

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

however, this is not a good practice because it is not obvious to the client code how to handle it, and it complicates the deleting of the allocated exception instance (who will call delete on it).

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

exceptions shoud be stack allocated, thrown, and caught by reference.

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

MFC implements somewhat specific idiom, where exceptions are allocated on the heap and you have to call Delete() method of the CException class to destroy the instance

Britley wrote:

Why must? Why cannot it be accessed through reference?

T x;<br />
T& ref = x; // valid<br />
T* ptr = x; // not valid

Britley wrote:

If the exception is stack allocated, should we make sure the catch statement is in the same scope(braces) as that of the exception variable

Britley wrote:

What is the equivalent for the C++ "exception" class to free the object?

Britley wrote:

Btw, this Delete method of CException might destroy the instance to free up resources, but is the object itself freed too (perhaps through 'delete this')?

Zdeslav Vojkovic wrote:

because T* can't be treated as T, while T& can (they are interchangeable).

<br />
try {<br />
  T *t = new T;<br />
  throw *t;<br />
}catch(T& te) {<br />
}<br />

delete operator.

Britley wrote:

Anything wrong, other than the memory leak, ofcourse?

Britley wrote:

Why do you need to call Delete on the MFC CException again

3. any class/type can be exception tpye, but maybe you would like to have look at the 'exception' class, which is a base class for all exeption classes in standard c++ library

Britley wrote:

I started using try/catch(...) in C++, but not sure what all can be done in the catch block.

Britley wrote:

1. What does the elipsis (...) mean?

Britley :->wrote:

What else can be put here?

Britley wrote:

If so, how do you define an exception class? Is there an interface that we should implement?

Britley wrote:

4. When we have the elipsis(...) how do you get the details of the exception?

Britley wrote:

5. Are there simple examples anywhere that demonstrate exceptions in C++ for Java programmers

<br />
TRY<br />
{<br />
CDatabase DB;<br />
CRecordset Rc;<br />
CString szSql = "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE AGE = 20"<br />
DB.ExecuteSql(szSql);<br />
}CATCH(CDatabaseException CDbe){ AfxMessageBox(CDBE->m_error));}<br />
