Could anybody tell me if this is legal ?

void f()
try {
  do_something();
} 
catch (...) {
  handle_my_errors();
}

Or should I write?

void f()
{
  try {
    do_something();
  } 
  catch (...) {
    handle_my_errors();
  }
}

I've seen the former in a book, but my compiler (MSVC++ 6.0) only
accepts the latter.

Regards
