Bug in egcs?

[Marius Kjeldahl]

While porting some code from Visual C++ 5.0 to egcs (I've tried both
1.0 and the 971207 release) I came across a problem compiling some of
the code. I have been able to narrow it down to the 30 lines attached
to this mail. The relevant error message I get while compiling if I
_remove_ the comment from the SomeClass_t constructor is:

test.cpp:13: sorry, not implemented: `try_catch_expr' not supported by
dump_expr

If the constructor is commented out, everything works fine and
dandy. On Microsoft Visual C++ a similar piece of code (which emits
the same error on the same construction under egcs on linux) compiles
and runs without any problems.

Regardless, the error message does not really give me much help in
figuring this one out. Is there anybody out there with a clue?

Thanks in advance..
