For example, if an exception is thrown as in throw some_object(some_arguments); A constructor of some_object will be called. That constructor may, in turn, throw an exception. Is the result of this that the original exception, some_object, is not thrown and is replaced by the exception that the some_object constructor threw? I've searched through the IS to try and find the answer to this question and have not found anything. Maybe someone here can help. Andy Larson [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
