Re: Exception Handling

Hello,
Is it safe to throw an exception as such:
throw new MyException ( "method","class","message);
and then catch it as:
try {
}
catch ( MyException *e ) {
//-- do something
delete e;
}
this is safe
I am just looking for some guidelines on exceptions. In doing google searches
for info, I came across an email stating that the implementation of exceptions
varies by compiler in that some runtime systems do a binary copy of the
exception and then pass it to the catch etc.
You are confusing the thrown object (a pointer) with the object it points
to (the new'd MyException).
