Michael Martell reassigned GEODE-8580:
--------------------------------------

       Assignee: Michael Martell
    Description: 
The new C++ test framework (cppcache/integration/framework) throws pointers to 
exceptions. This is never a good idea. 
[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10948316/throw-new-stdexception-vs-throw-stdexception]

Although you can catch pointers, it's not recommended practice.

Note: The particular error I ran into was in GfshExecute::execute, where

     throw new GfshExecuteException("gfsh error", exit_code);

was being used. This requires gtest to use: 

     EXPECT_THROW(gfsh.query(query_stmt).execute(), GfshExecuteException*);
