Right. I hadn't understood that the exception was raised by B::B().
Actually, B as B isn't a try constructor, we can tell the compiler
there is no exception at stake here explicitely by the following
declaration:

B() throw() {}

Then the ~ptr() is no more used by GCC, and the code compiles.
I think this is exactly what the default constructor does.

Well, it wasn't really simple, but the code sample was
effectively not valid (btw, OpenSP had been patched
in sourceforge to bypass the problem, even if it wasn't
well understood). It's not a compiler bug, GCC is right
here (and I'm rather impressed).

Thanks
