------- Comment #2 from djh at emss dot co dot za 2007-11-02 06:08 ------- I am using debugger. After the exception is thrown, the program asserts. So I get a backtrace to the system fatal call, having no idea where the exception was thrown.
I dont know about you guys but I find the .net/java exceptions with backtraces built in to be a lot more useful. Sure you can place a breakpoint in the constructor of an exception but it has to be done and can be very annoying in complicated debug sessions. Especially since GDB is not the fastest animal around and is being used used on larger and larger projects (which take a _long_ time to load in gdb). -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=33903
