Yep, I got your point. You certainly _can_ handle exceptions close to the throw point. This doesn't mean that you _have to_ handle exceptions close to the throw point. I employ a different exception handling style, with as few try blocks as possible, that typically handle exceptions far from the throw point, a style that, at least in my experience, is legitimate and produces slightly cleaner designs. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
