C++ throw in a thread

[Edward Wachtel]

Is there a way to allow C++ code to throw in a thread?  I compiled the
following code as follows and it aborts due to the throw.

bash-2.05$ throwtest
throwing check
Aborted

Regards,

Ed

g++ -g throwtest.cpp -othrowtest -lpthread




#define _GNU_SOURCE
#define _REENTRANT
#define MAX 5
#include <iostream>
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
using namespace std;

void * throwit(void *);

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
   pthread_t t;
   int i;
   int status;
 
   try
   {  
      if( pthread_create(&t,NULL,throwit,(void *)i) != 0) {
        cerr << "pthread_create failed" << endl;
        return 1;
      }
      pthread_join(t, (void **)&status);
      cout << "end of thread " << endl;
   }
   catch(...)
   {
      cout << "unexpected exception" << endl;
   }
}
        
void * throwit(void * t_id) {
   int i;
   float f = 4.0;
   for (i=0;i<MAX; i++) {
      sleep(1);
      try {
         cout<<"throwing check"<<endl;
         throw "check";
      }
      catch(char * st) {
         cout << "throwit caught" << st << endl;
      }
   }
   return 0;
}
