void func_1( )
{
  string aCvla="func1";
  throw aCvla;
}

void func_2 ()
{
  char aCvla[6];
  strcpy (aCvla, "func2");
  throw aCvla;
}

int main()
{
  try {
    func_1();
  } catch ( string &aCA ) {
    cout << aCA << endl;
  }
  try {
    func_2();
  } catch ( char * aCA ) {
    cout << aCA << endl;
