Re: Why a try/catch in priority_queue::push/pop?!?

Hi Howard,

I think the try/catch is very old, coming from the HP/SGI STL, maybe I missing historical facts which I'd like to know... Anyone helping?


<shakes head> Can't blame this one on HP/SGI, just checked, no-try/ catch there. :-)

I see... But I can find the strange beast already in libstdc++-v2, in gcc2.95.3, a *lot* of time! (admittedly I never played myself with the original HP/SGI STL, as distributed from the SGI web site, for example, only some friends of mine did...)

But... I think I can see it:
