    Uncaught exception

    Hello everyone,


    Just want to check whether my understanding is correct,

    Both (1) and (2) only covers Windows C++ platform.

    1. If there is uncaught exception, destructor is not ensured to be called for active object;

    2. All the resources (handles, memory, etc.) for current process will be released when uncaught exception causing process to terminate.


    thanks in advance,
    George

    About 2 - It should be... But not always true...
    Several times I had problems opening Com-port after crash of the application while the com-port was already opened
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.

    Wasn't question 1 discussed in a thread you started recently?
    I might be wrong.

    Thank you, anon. You sure know how to recognize different types of trees from quite a long way away.

    Hi anon,


    I think the answer is yes, destructor is not ensured to be called.
