Thread: Mingw32 and C++ exception handling.

This question is not about SEH and is not homework.
I'm reading the book "Teach yourself c++ in one hour a day".
Here we have a simple code here from the book

Code:

// trying and catching
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

const int DefaultSize = 10;

int main()
{
    int top = 90;
    int bottom = 0;

    try
    {
        cout << "top / 2 = " << ( top / 2 ) << endl;

        cout << "top divided by bottom = ";
        cout << ( top / bottom ) << endl;
        cout << "top / 3 = " << ( top / 3 ) << endl;
    }
    catch ( ... )
    {
        cout << "something has gone wrong!" << endl;
    }

    cout << "Done." << endl;
    return 0;
}

That code compiled with mingw32 4.5.2 crashes. Compiling it with ms VC++ express 2010 gives the correct answer. What is wrong here? What am I missing with mingw32?
I read some other threads in this forum, but I didn' t found an answer to this question.

Thanks.

Division by zero results in undefined behaviour. It does not guarantee that an exception will be thrown.

VC++ has structured exception handling (SEH) that I believe it uses to implement standard c++ handling.

SEH handles divide by zero, standard exception handling does not.
