No, in [except.handle]/16 the standard says "The exception being handled is rethrown if control reaches the end of a handler of the function-try-block of a constructor or destructor." You cannot swallow exceptions in a constructor's function-try-block, they will be rethrown. > -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41174
