Write a message to a log-_le. But do not throw an exception. The C++ rule is that you must never throw an exception from a destructor that is being called during the "stack unwinding" process of another exception. For example, if someone says throw Poo(), the stack will be unwound so all the stack frames between the throw Poo() and the } catch (Poo e) { will get popped. This is called stack unwinding. During stack unwinding, all the local objects in all those stack frames are destructed. If one of those destructors throws an exception (say it throws a Bar object), the C++ runtime system is in a no-win situation: should it ignore the Bar and end up in the} catch (Poo e) { where it was originally headed? Should it ignore the Poo and look for a} catch (Bare) {handler? There is no good answer:either choice loses information. So the C++ language guarantees that it will call terminate() at this point, and terminate() kills the process. Bang you''re dead. Posted by Archie | Posted Date: 2/13/2013 1:18:53 AM
