i havent used djgpp in awhile, but when i used "user defined" exceptions in
msvc i always use the new operator when using exceptions, like this...

   throw new exception("Error message here");

Subject: Exception Handling


I am having a problem with exception handling.  Whenever I try
to cathch and exception, instead of running what's in the catch
block, it exits the program and displays Abort!!.  Is there
something I'm missing, or doing wrong??  Here's what I'm doing:

#include <iosteam>

class exception
{
 public:
   exception(char *message)
   {
    strcpy(errorMessage, message);
   }

   void display()
   {
    cout << errorMessage;
   }

 private:
   char *errorMessage;
};

Then whin I want to throw an exception, I say:
   throw exception("Error message here");

and then catch it using:
   catch (exception &e)

but it never does this, it just aborts.  And yes, the code that
produces the exception is in a try block.
