I could do something along following lines:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void
unknown_exception_handler()
{
try {
throw;
}
catch( int i ) {
cout << "int caught\n";
}
}
int main()
{
try {
throw 1;
}
catch( ... ) {
try {
unknown_exception_handler();
} catch( ... ) {
cout << "unknown exception\n";
}
}
}
and provide a way to configure unknown_exception_handler.
Dave, do you have something different in mind?
