Class destructor and throw

Unregisterred · 11-21-2002

I have a small snippet of code I am using for a test purpose.

Code:

try
{

    CSomeClass Test;

    // output some stuff here

    throw "error";

    return 1;

}
catch(char * error)
{

    // explain error

}

return 0;

While running some tests I noticed that my class's destructor is being called before the //output some stuff here is even being executed and is NOT being called at the end of the application, is this normal in a try/catch situation?

before the output some stuff here? I can imagine it happening before the catch because it's out of scope but not before the output some stuff here

Are you sure you didn't mix up the Constructor and the Destructor

.

i assume you're printing informative messages to stdout and or stderr, are you remembering to flush them both?

any objects local to the function will have their destructors called as soon as the throw statement executes.This is normal behaviour for a throw. The c++ standard garantees that local objects get their destructor called in event of an exception.
